This is obvious push polling. My results simply make no sense at all:: Ted Cruz 74% Marco Rubio 69% Jim Gilmore 69%. . . Donald Trump 66% . . . I put Trump first

No push poll. All this means is that Ted Cruz's positions on the issues is closest to your own while Trump's are the farthest away. Here's an example. On the question about whether taxes should be raised on the highest income earners, I am guessing that you said 'no' as does Cruz, Rubio, Gilmore, etc. But Donald Trump says 'yes' as does Sanders. Thus the discrepancy. Nothing rigged about it.

But it is rigged. Trump’s tax plan does not increase the tax burden on the rich- the top bracket is for $150K and up and the rate is 25% which is a decrease. The AMT goes away and corporate taxes are reduced, so there is no increase on the wealthy. The only exception is a loophole on the way income from hedge fund proceeds are taxed that goes away. If the questionnaire assumes Trump raises tax burden on the rich, they are flat out wrong and will score the test results wrong. I have no doubt they got other things wrong as well.
