| Re: Good Job Karl Yes.. good job. And, to add.. push polling is done more than not these days. There's been much debate over the validity of polls and surveys, etc.
A poll is only as good as the organization conducting them and the questions asked.
Penn & Teller's BullShit program did an episode on pollsters last season. I forget who it was, but one of the major and well respected polsters in this country, pews? Can't remember, admitted to push polling to achieve the results their clients wanted.
This is why I do not pay attention to polls. Really, there is no real need to poll in masses. Really, there are consumer friendly ways to do business and still make money. These yahoos just need to stop listening to their marketing staffers and do the right thing.
There's something to be said about building the better mouse trap.. (ie: product)... if you build it, they WILL come. If you manipulate people, they will run.
