(Yes, there are two different kinds.)<br /><br />The fact that after you answered the initial question they 'pushed' with information to see if it would change your opinion. What 3:22 and someone else above had to say about it is based on a common thought about push polls - that they try to change your mind with negative comments about the opponent. <br /><br />Either way, a push poll. A good campaign tactic, designed to find if the subject of the question changes your mind. If so, candidate adds it to campaign lit.<br /><br />Push poll? Yes. Bad campaign tactic? No. Accurate poll results?

Instead of using all your money to support fighting the criminal in Jackson you spend it on one house of recovery where the men are sober and are causing no problems. Will Longwitz has probably spent more of your tax paying dollars with his smear campaign against OH than any money OH has received. If he is elected he's not going to care one bit about the OH issue.
