Certainly push polling may have been in play here (I received such a call when Vicki Walker was running for office), but I would like to think those were not the results reported in the newspaper. To report on poll results accurately, the newspaper should see a list of the questions. If it was a push poll the reporter(s) should be able to sniff that out and the results should not be reported. Additionally, the interviewer of a legit poll would identify the company, although she/he may not be able to answer other questions. I do have reason to believe the letter-writer is lying, but no matter what her support of Vinis is worthy of derision.
