Just got a push poll for Mike Sherzan

Sherzan is running against Young for the 3rd district. Along with Desmond Adams and Jim Mower.

Like most polls it started off normally. Typical questions about the candidates for the House seat.
But then came the loaded questions in support of Sherzan followed by the typical "after hearing about issues ABC , if the election were held today, who would you vote for..."
When I said I hadn't made up my mind yet, another round of push questions followed by "after hearing about issues DEF , if the election were held today...."

And When the pollster started in on another round of push questions, I hung up.

I haven't made up my mind yet. Sherzan might be a great guy but push polls really rub me the wrong way.

I wish I could remember who it was that called. I know it wasn't an IA firm because he couldn't pronounce DesMoines.

Any of you get one of these?

But yeah you can tell when it's not someone from Iowa because they have no fricking clue on how to pronounce Dubuque.
