I would then have likely followed up with a political reporter at local tv station or newspaper to see if they could investigate who this firm was representing... Then I'd surely forward it on to TRMS, Lawrence, or Chris Hayes. to see if they would take the story and run with it.

Someone is paying them to poll on these questions and I'd sure as hell like to know WHO?
