That was my thought too. The first time I was ever called by a polling company, it was a push-poll. Sometimes Democrats are looking for Republicans who can be "pushed" into voting for their candidate, and are cataloguing the issues/strategies that seem to be successful in this effort.
In my case they were looking for Republican women ... only. A certain 'Rat candidate thought he might be able to trade on his "pro-choice" position with "moderate" Republican women, and siphon off that segment of the vote.
Well, I am a woman, but I am no moderate. The pollster was taken aback at my response to her question about abortion. She then proceeded to tell me how surprised she was that an "intelligent" woman like me could think that way.
That’s a very arrogant push-poller.
I usually turn it around and start asking them questions.
e.g.,
“Did you know that Obama said in 2008 that low-income
households in the US were hurt by illegal immigration? Don’t you think you should include this in your question?”
“Do you recall that Obama opposed health insurance mandates in the 2008 election? Why did he change his mind? Did mandates become more popular, or less popular over time?”
I just don’t let up until they make an excuse to drop the call. I want to demoralize these creeps.
