Toomey Campaign Getting Desperate? Beware the Push Polls.

[Mc Mike]

5. Thanks for the info, bn.

If a human doesn't start talking after 2 hellos, I hang up. I'm sorry if I miss a good poll opportunity with this tactic, but there are too many robocalls daily, 6 robocalls, and only ~ 3 "people we know" calls on our home landline phone. And I don't have a cell phone, so that's my main way of communicating verbally with people I know.

We have gotten political robocalls from our side, that leave a message on our answering machine. The ones who call repeatedly and instantly hang up when the answering machine turns on don't seem to want to have any positive impact on our lives. If they were proud of what they're doing, they'd leave a message to us, and ask for a call back.

I think you analysis of the push poll is spot on. Both points you made about the misleading "question" trying to lie about Toomey's opponent, and the attempt to get feedback for their ad buy endeavors, are good insights that I might not have picked up on.
