I wonder which ones they pushed?
I wonder which way they pushed 'em?
I wonder what they pushed 'em with?
Inquiring minds want to know...
Then, the "leaners" are added to the total for whichever candidate they named, and the "don't know" category shrinks accordingly. This is a normal technique, but should be revealed when used, so these poll results can be properly compared to other polls which did the same thing. It was revealed here.
The prejudicial use of "pushing" means shaping the poll to create the desired result. A question like this might be asked: "Would you still support Senator Snort if you knew that he frequently dressed in women's clothing?" No poll that uses push questions like this is legitimate. Unethical pollsters who use such questions conceal this, if they can get away with it.
Hope that information is helpful.
