Reply #13: Most polls are an attempt to gather data. The data will then be used in some fashion. [View All]

A push poll is a poll in which the data gathered is not important, the point of the poll is to touch the voter in some way. Push polls are unpopular, but I like them more than ordinary, data gathering polls. Propaganda is an art form.

Another type of poll, and the type mostly created by Boojatta, is the type which is created in order to spark conversation. I am unaware of any name for this type of poll.

I could be wrong, but I believe the point of your poll concerns the limitations of language. Your poll is propaganda, and therefore, a push poll.

Or maybe you are simply compiling lists of DUers possessions.

This poll is still one of my favorite polls on DU.
