Clipmarks | Vietnam ClipsIs Hillary Clinton Push Polling?clipped by: BobbyRutanclippers remarks: More: The questions started out normal enough, but got progressively more ridiculous. Early in the conversation Ed asked my preference among the Democratic candidates and I told him I was an Obama supporter. Then the questions turned to long Hillary-praising and Barack bashing policy statements with the response options being "Do you consider that a very strong, strong or weak or very weak reason to support her candidacy for president?" which is kind of an unanswerable question, and clearly not the point. At the end of the conversation they asked "Now based on everything weve discussed, who would you vote for?" The questions were often based on statements that I wouldnt agree with in the first place. Its classic push polling as Ive read about it, though never experienced it before. The questions are of the "Are you still beating your wife?" variety. No way to answer with any sense of veracity and integrity North Carolina activist David LaMotte just got a push poll call from the firm of Geoff Garin, the new head of Hillary Clintons campaign team It wasnt as bad as asking "would it change your mind if you knew John Kerry actually bought his Vietnam medals off eBay." Or "How do you feel about John McCains illegitimate black children?" But it was a push poll nonetheless, This isnt the first time that the Clinton campaign or their allies have had pollsters offering positive information about Clinton and negative information about her opponents--they did it on the eve of the California primary and in South Carolina. (And firms linked to the Giuliani campaign made highly negative push poll calls against Mitt Romney in Iowa and New Hampshire) But its a disturbing practice precisely because it tries to spin the recipient under the pretense of merely asking about their views, and from everything I can tell, its a practice that Obama has avoided. ![]() Tags: hillary, push polling ![]()
