"Push poll questions are sometimes included in actual polls done by political parties. They are usually placed at the end of any such poll so as not to skew the results."

I've never heard of this practice, and strongly suspect that it's based on the common practice of testing negative messages in legitimate polls. Anyone have a citation or experience to back this up? RadicalSubversiv E 07:13, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

An article I read credited Karl Rove with inventing the push poll. Can anybody back this up? // Liftarn

I can tell you I had heard of push polling long before Rove came onto the national policital scene.

Could Lee Atwater (who taught Karl Rove) be credited with the creation of push polls? His article indicated that he used similar dirty tricks against Democratic politicians and such. --Blue387 02:38, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

Clinton "push polls" in NV

(I'm also 24.108.139.127).

I've removed a sentence that said Clinton's campaign was "asked" about push polls in Nevada in 2016.

It was backed up by these two articles http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/recording-suggests-hillary-clinton-backers-testing-attack-lines/story?id=37027124 http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4579722/pollster-david-paleologos-asked-hillary-clinton-campaign-push-polling-bernie-sanders

The poll in question most definitely wasn't a push poll, per http://blogs.rollcall.com/rothenblog/dont-call-it-a-push-poll-bernie-sanders-campaign-edition/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/02/19/no-hillary-clinton-isnt-push-polling-in-nevada/

It seems like the push-poll question was being driven by the Sanders campaign, and I don't think an incorrect allegation (and minor) of push-polling is notable enough for inclusion, or neutral. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chajusong (talk • contribs) 15:48, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
