Heads up - "Axiom Strategies" is doing anti-Kelly push polling

Tucson phone number.

Starts out like a normal telephone poll, then they push several minutes of anti-Kelly GOP talking points under the guise of "Would this make you more or less likely to vote for Mark Kelly".

Pollster got a bit flustered when I accused him of making inaccurate statements for a poorly disguised push poll that was wasting my time. But I went through the whole thing to waste HIS time. He was not getting the responses that he was expecting/wanting and it was clearly more frustrating for him.

Pretty sure at the start he identified his company as Axiom Strategies.

Several times I've had the call cut off because I didn't give the answers they wanted. Other times the pollsters, although obviously hostile or shaken, continued on until the end.
