As a voter in Iowa I received 3 anti Hillary push polls. Two were obviously in favor of Edwards. When I confronted the third called with the question, "is this a push poll?" the woman hung up before I could determine who was sponsoring it.

Too bad Brian Ross didn't do more homework before airing his story Friday night. Maybe he got tricked too when someone planted the story idea.

By spreading the word such as this, about the "push poll" nobody should be answering there phone anyway. It will just allow no gathering of information and people won't even listen. I believe people have there minds made up anyway and now will no longer discuss it on the phone. Good job whoever you are!

So is this the reason John Kerry is now showing support for Obama? Kerry knows Edwards. Pretty weird.

For those who think it's a Clinton trick to get Edward's votes; silly. Especially since the concern all along has been that Edwards is getting the possible Obama votes. The two have aligned themselves on attacking Clinton in various debates and criticism. I think it's a huge mistake for all sides to provide the right wing with ammo on any of these candidates. Democrats devisiveness on candidates is doing all the dirty work for the right wing in the general election. Wake up Democrats!

please educate yourselves on the difference between a push poll and a "message testing" survey. push polls are done with few questions, hardly asking to identify the surveyer's personal info like gender, income, etc. and push polls are sent to thousand or tens of thousand of people at once.

a "message testing" survey, while you may feel the practice is contraversal, has been done for many elections, but always discretely. it could be a perfectly valid scientific poll, it's just embarassing to find out that the campaigns are doing such things, it makes them sound petty. which, most of them, are--petty tactics to plan attacks with.

it's just that there's sooo much attention given to this election, that some have been exposed. they are only useful to the campaigns who buy the survey results. and for news people who love to expose petty politics for what it is.

You guys really think hillary would be dumb enough to make it so obvious that it is her.

Barack Obama is the only candidate who can address the crucial global issues we have to face today. And he can face them with great sensitivity, brilliance and grace. He consistantly displays these characteristics along with his wit and wisdom under stress. He is THE ONE PERSON for our era who has the strength of character and ability to lead the USA and the world before it is too late.

I used to work for a campaign management company. They thought they were so smart. But they were just transparent, like the disguised polls you're talking about. Every candidate we worked for lost. Then I started working one-on-one with candidates - no clever polls or fact bending - and they won. Hey, honesty really can pay off. I'm voting for Edwards.

They were all trashed in that call.
It's got to be the GOP & Karl Rove.

Every single religion has had a spiritual leader make the exact same comments about the atrocities of man since the dawn of time. Some religious groups even promote hatred! Hillary has done just that throughout the majority of her campaign. Let's try focusing on the fact's. 2.) Although a woman as President could help the African nation's, the rest of the world leaders will ultimately define the U.S. as an infantile, dependent superpower (Ameri-who?). 3.) One word: "WaterGate". 4.) She stole the White House furniture! 5.) America needs a fresh set of eyes on our future. 6.) Right now, America requires a leader with the cunning of Ronald Reagan, the ambition on Foreign and Domestic policies as John F. Kennedy and the reserve of Gerald Ford as we go into the future; if we are to remain "A GREAT NATION". If only Barack Obama could run for president with Arnold Schwarzenegger on his ticket as his running mate they'd be a shoe-in against any Republican Adversary. The only draw back, it would most likely prep "Arnold" for a coup as a reformed Republican in the 2012 Presidential Election.
