As Clinton's intimate political advisor and a veteran political operator, I should think that Morris is quite sophisticated when it comes to polls.

Did you know what a "push" poll was before you read about it here? I certainly did not. If you also did not, you are not qualified to comment.

The fact that Morris' concerns may be political in no way detracts from his expertise in polls.

Morris' concerns are simply politics. Only.


Well, good, because politics -- the use by the NY Times of polls as a political tool -- is the subject under discussion. Morris certainly has the experience and expertise to recognize a push poll when he sees one. I would definitely regard him as an authority on the subject. Or do you claim that Morris is purely defending GOP positions? an odd accusation for a man who last advised President Clinton!

"Who knows about the accuracy of these polls."
I guess its how you ask the question. Who you ask. etc. then you may get the answer you want ..g

Understand a couple of days ago nytimes published some poll numbers.. However, the times selected only what it wanted to cover for its political agenda.. according to Fox news.. when you go over three or more additional poll numbers in detail, in the same poll, you come up with a different answer.
