| Under current law, a "push poll" is defined as a paid |
| telephone survey that references a candidate when all of the |
| following factors are present: a list is used to select |
| respondents based on demographic or political characteristics; |
| the survey fails to make inquiries that would allow for the |
| tabulation of results based on a relevant subset of the |
| population; the pollster does not collect or tabulate survey |
| results; the survey prefaces a question regarding support for |
| a candidate on the basis of an untrue statement; and the |
| survey is primarily for the purpose of suppressing or changing |
| the voting position of the call recipient. This bill instead |
| defines a "push poll" as a paid telephone survey that |
| references a candidate when any one of those factors is |
| present. |
