I imagine some polls go something like:
Do you think it's a good idea for Bush to sell our sensitive port security operations to Arabs?
America has lost thoundsands of soldiers in Iraq, which Bush admits had nothing to do with 9-11. Do you think this is good or bad?
Do you favor Bush spying on innocent Americans' phone calls?
New York Times experts said recently that our economy is the worst it's been in over 750 years. Under Clinton, the economy was at its best since the creation of time. Based on these facts, who do you think did a better job for the economy?
Etc.

Is this how MSM is coming up with the majority of Americans are opposed to the War in Iraq and then peace demonstrations can't attract enough attendees to fill a medium sized theater for a free movie? Mostly not. You may read Gallup and Zogby and Rasmussen and Harris's web pages. They discuss their methodology.
The poll you described is a "push" poll as you describe. It is not legitimate as a method of getting results. The primary idea of push polls is to change the mind of the pollee.
You must be very healthy. It's not so easy (even if one has a use-it-or-lose-it health account) to afford simple health care. (Insurance helps.) Even things like having a polyp screened for cancer is around $1500. The colonoscopy and anethesia and OR rental are extra; that's just for the tissue analysis.

The only RECENT poll call that I have addressed was an RNC poll. A few years prior to that, I had answered a political poll conducted by a gubernatorial candidate's campaign..
