Push Poll Pushes Andrew Rice

Democrat U. S. Senate candidate Andrew Rice apparently has a push poll in the field.

Several individuals report today they received calls from a "Precision Opinion" firm in Las Vegas, Nevada asking questions about the Senate race.

Among questions were those seeking an opinion of Rice and Inhofe, including what the person being polled had heard about Inhofe and Rice and from where (TV, radio, friends, newspaper), and whom they’d vote for. (This question was asked twice, once at the beginning of the poll and again at the end).

The operator read a paragraph about Rice, how Inhofe has gotten a million dollars from big oil, how America needs a new energy policy, and how we need change in Washington. The operator then asked if that made them more likely to vote for Rice.

That was followed by a statement about Rice; someone who is new to politics, has pledged not to take money from oil and gas companies, someone who will reach across the aisle and change the way Washington works.

The operator then asked again if that made the person more likely to vote for Rice.
