- What the heck is Push Polling?
We have all heard of
political attack ads. These we are very familiar with, regardless
of whether you’re of voting age or not- if you still get broadcast
television in your home of any sort you will have, sometime during
an election cycle like the recent Mid Terms here in the USA, seen
some of those. Radio is another medium where political ads
are a big tool for campaigns to shape the opinion and sway the
votes of the public. Print is no exception to this by any means and
many a full page ad has been taken out in newspapers at the local,
state, and even national level over the years to try to affect the
outcomes of elections for offices seemingly trivial, on up to the
most lofty positions of Governors, Senators, and Presidents.
Then there is Astroturfing, where organizations thought to be
self organized, grassroots movements turn out to be either secretly
or not so secretly supported financially by “Evil Billionaires bent
of running the world”- but that’s a story for another day, and
besides a lot of other podcasts cover that all the time. Well,
either I had forgotten about this one, or somehow had missed the
term itself when this kind of political maneuvering was going on
that I somehow hadn’t been tracking on something called “push
polling”. It’s kind of like how it sounds- Someone calls you
on the phone, and this may be why right here that I haven’t been
watching this space. It’s hard to get me on the phone if you’re
some random number, especially if my caller ID thinks you’re a
telemarketer or political call, and so I haven’t been caught by a
political robo call in years. Now, these Push polls pre date robo
callers and automated voice systems that can ask you questions and
tell you to use the keypad or your voice to reply, so this isn’t
that new, as you’ll come to see. Anyway- you receive a call, and
it’s a person, live or sometimes just a voice, and this person or
voice wants to ask a few questions. OK, they’ve got you now,
you say- go ahead. Well, as you’ll hear in the following clip, the
“questions” you are about to hear may just be more about you
hearing and thinking about them, than any answer that you actually
give in response to the questions. Crucial things to understand
about push polling are that the answers respondents provide are of
secondary or even tertiary importance to simply getting a person to
sit through what amounts to a truculent “message in a survey suit”.
Answers, when given are generally irrelevant, as the poll was
designed to implant ideas, not gather information for some public
institution. I found this really well written wikipedia article
with lots of examples in it all about the subject, let’s have a
look at some of the highlights, shall we? (Link) File under:
