Giffords Condemns Push Polling

TUCSON - Gabrielle Giffords today condemned the practice of “push polling.”

“My campaign has never conducted a push poll and will never conduct a push poll. Push polls are unethical and an example of politics at its worst,” said Giffords. “We have hired a reputable pollster, which can be verified in our FEC reports. “

The Giffords campaign’s spending reports, which detail all payments for goods and services, are publicly available via the Federal Election Commission’s website, http://www.fec.gov/.

The Giffords campaign also condemned the practice of third party push-polling. “I am not aware of any push poll conducted on our behalf,” said Giffords, “and if I learned of one, I would condemn it and ask the sponsors to stop immediately.”
