Is a State Senate candidate sending attack ads disguised as polling?
Has anyone else been getting polling requests from an Insights Research? One number in the usual election-time spam (far more than I'm used to for a state senate race) has been claiming be that polling firm, which doesn't seem to actually exist. The site they use is a generic free internet survey site.
It's been sending this poll, which starts as a generic political poll, with pretty even descriptions of the candidates to start, but then frames the rest with very positive questions about Lander and negative questions about Brownsberger. This seems like an attack ad by Lander's campaign disguised as polling?
I'll admit, I was already leaning against Lander over rent control, but I did find his transparency messaging appealing. If this is actually his campaign, that's... not a good look. Faking a polling firm to send attack ads doesn't seem very transparent. Anyone else getting similar polls?
Edit: This is apparently called push polling
