Same softball question intro and then it went into asking whether the following statement would make me more likely or less likely to vote for Madia - followed by a sensationalistically negative statement. After the first few clearly biased statements against Madia, I asked who was funding the "poll." The caller claimed he did not know. After more biased statements, I asked if we would come to a section of similar questions about Paulsen. The caller claimed that this was his first phone call and he really didn't know. At that point I declined to complete the survey and hung up. Come to think of it, I should have told him that all of those statements made me *more* likely to vote for Madia - just because push polls are such an insult to any voter's intelligence. Shame on Paulsen. I received the same poll.
