I participated in this poll. It was a push poll. Which numbers are they releasing...the first time they ask who you would vote for or after the "push"?

What is a 'Push Poll"?
Mike | 08.29.06 - 7:11 pm | #

A push poll gauges from the answers to questions that are asked of the pollee. The poll taker first guages whether that individual being asked the questions supports the particular candidate. In this case, if you show support for Heather then they pose questions such as "Heather Wilson voted to cut educational funds for New Mexico schools"? Does this make you less likely to support Heather Wilson. This goes on for a bit and they they ask you a couple of generic questions and then they go back to the push poll.

This poll asked questions like "Patricia Madrid will make classes sizes in New Mexico smaller"! Will this make you more likely to support her? (the answer to this is the state legislature controls the size and funding of state education)

After a while they finish all the questions and make a determination if you support their candidate.

I participated and it was fun. Specially the question about Jim Baca.
