Push Polling in South Carolina. Again.
South Carolina is legendary for dirty politics and push polling specifically. Now a mysterious group called SSI Polling is doing one of the most blatant push polls you’ll ever see in the race between Elizabeth Colbert-Busch and Mark Sanford. Here are some of the questions:
- “What would you think of Elizabeth Colbert Busch if I told you she had had an abortion?”
- “What would you think of Elizabeth Colbert Busch if I told you a judge held her in contempt of court at her divorce proceedings?
- “What would you think of Elizabeth Colbert Busch if she had done jail time?”
- “What would you think of Elizabeth Colbert Busch if I told you she was caught running up a charge account bill?”
