Push polls have been around a long time. Some are very difficult to see. Some very easy. I had one that was so bad that I wrote the candidate who sponsored it and told her how it was being perceived, at least by me. If they are not illegal they should be. The difficulty is how do you define it. If they are real clever you can do one to make a candidate look bad, but not get it classified as a push poll. Listen to the talk radio shows and they will usually get to the bottom of the truth at some point. But why does the mainstream media ignore it? I listened to Romney's speech about the Iraq war and time tables. McCain completely miss quoted, took infomation out of context, and walked a very close line to being a lie. I was not a McCain supporter before this, but I didn't dislike him either. I now do not trust him.
