I just got polled by Rasmussen.
Automated phone call. Missed a whole segment of Keith to do it.

Some observations:
- They always had the order of possible answers with Republican first and Democrat (sic) second.
- The questions weren't overtly push-poll, but phrased with a subtle use of language. (I'm sorry, I can't give a concrete example, I tried to scribble notes but the questions were coming too fast.)
- Two odd questions about Michelle Obama's influence on government policy.
- Another odd question (I'm paraphrasing as I remember it): "Do you trust the people, or a combination of business and government"

My very first Rasmussen.

:boring:

3. "polled by Rasmussen."
1. I bet you dressed like you were asking for it.
2. They won't make that mistake twice.
3. Will he still respect you in the morning?
4. You are very brave to come forward.

Pick one or more.

4. that last question was an intended "doublebind"
One may trust government, without trusting business. . .yet, there is no choice that would allow that!
So if one doesn't trust either the government OR big business. . .he/she must answer people. . .which really are both the government and big business anyway!

Thanks for informing us, though! I think we should keep track of this!
