Don't believe all the polls! I just got push polled. (in Colorado)

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

Just received a call on my landline from a lady with a one question poll.

She said she was from the Conservative Action something and she asked:

(paraphrase) Under the current administration, the economy in is the crapper, unemployment is sky high, and consecrative values have been cast aside...Do you think the current administration is doing a good job for the things you care about?

I laughed, and told her that was a push poll.

So I guess some positive polling results for the Romney campaign are right around the corner!

Anyone else had a similar experience?

1. I was push polled last week. First time ever!

I told the fellow that his questions were certainly loaded.

4. I had one years ago

guess it was the NRA. First question was, "If guns were made illegal, do you believe that criminals and members of drug gangs would voluntarily turn in their guns?" I laughed and said that I was sure they would, because I am a very optimistic type of guy, and then hung up.

5. BTW, great web site to see who called

whocalledus.com put in the number and it will tell you who (if they can tell) the call came from, give you comments from others who have listed that number, and provide a link to report the call to the National Do Not Call Registry.

6. i LOVE push polls if it by a human. 1/2 the time the person is so tongue tied by the awful wording p

one even wanted to take notes when i gave her the reality. i say bring it ON!

7. If I got one of those

I would say, "I'm a devout conservative but this year I'm voting OBAMA!"

Why let them know you know what they're doing? Just tell them something that'll make them sick.

8. I could barely still hear her denying it as I hung up.

Irritating people. Smart political tool?

9. I love push polls, if I have the time.

Questioner: "Given that his Democratic opponent has been accused of child pornography and torturing kittens, would you say you are a. very likely to vote for Candidate X, b. somewhat likely to vote for Candidate X or c. undecided?

Me; " I think X is a hypocrite and a crook"

Questioner: "Is that a. very likely, b. somewhat likely, ..."

Me: What part of hypocrite and crook do you not understand?

Questioner: "Is that a. very likely, ..."

Me: I think he is an asshole, as well.

and so it goes until I start yelling at them about how biased their poll is and just hang up.

Or, I say, could you hang on for a minute, I have something on the stove, then just walk away and wait for the phone to make that off the hook noise, then hang it up.
