FWIW, let's add some facts to this instead of calling your slog readers idiots. The recent mayor's race poll was 652 out of 412,000 registered voters in the area (0.16%). This poll was done by a democratic polling firm of 400 likely voters in a district comprised of 135,000 registered voters in the area (0.3%) and took the extra time to "inform those questioned about the democratic candidate". Also, they haven't published the raw results so there's that.... Considering the money in this race vs the mayor's race, polling twice as many is kind of significant.
Maybe not as negative or as large a swath as is possible, but "informing those polled" about one candidate fits my definition.
I got a poll recently on the Kasner/Wallace Bellevue city council race. It wasn't exactly a push poll, but the difference was a matter of tone and degree. Regardless, blogging about a poll, even a push poll, can be informative. So thanks!
