Poppagator, a push poll is still a push poll, no matter when it's done.   Not very effective as election strategy, granted, if done right after a major election. But it's still an attempt to MOLD opinion instead of just measuring it.   It can also be an attempt to propagate lies and distorted perceptions.

And if you think Obama's opponents are done trying to tear down his image and cripple his effectiveness just because he's the President elect, HA!!
