Was polled by Rasmussen just now
Just wanted you to know that Rasmussen should be putting up a new polling result soon. I live in NH. They called me a short while ago on my land line and I participated in the automated-response poll.
Questions asked (that I can recall, and not in order) were:
1. Have I ever voted in the general election (always)
2. How likely would I be to vote in the NH primary(certain)
3. What party am I registered with (Undeclared/Independent)
and
since I chose Independent- which ballot I would choose on Tuesday (republican)
4. How do I view the candidates- from very favorably to very unfavorably (they listed, in order, Giuliani, Thompson, McCain, Romney, Huckabee, Paul)
5. How do I view each candidate politically- conservative, moderate or liberal
6. What do I consider myself politically- conservative, moderate, or liberal
7. How important are the following to you: Economy, war on terror/foreign policy, war in Iraq, health care, immigration
8. Sometimes things come up and people are unable to make it to vote. How certain are you that you will vote on Tuesday? (certain)
9. What ethnic group I belong to, age group, religion, children under 18, income...
10. How closely I follow politics/this election
11. *added Which candidate I would be voting for. (Paul!) And how certain I was about my choice (Very certain). Can't believe I forgot that one. :)
12. *added They asked how favorably or unfavorably I felt about Bush's presidency.

UPDATE: HUCKABEE PUSH POLL
3:57 p.m. ET- was just called by "Election Research" for a short "yes or no" voice-response poll. I was asked if I would definitely be voting in the Republican primary on Tuesday (Yes)
Then I was asked who I would vote for, and was ONLY given the choices of (in order) Romney, McCain and Huckabee to choose from (said NO to all).
I was asked to pick one of three choices as THE most important issue for me: Taxes, Immigration, Health care. I said "Yes" to taxes, then I was treated to a couple slams against Romney & McCain on their history concerning taxes, and a glowing praise of Huckabee's tax record (puke).
Then I was asked if I thought Bush was doing a good job, yes or no? (No)
The call ended by telling me (per NH law) that it was coming from Common Sense Issues, and that it was not affiliated in ANY WAY with any candidate's campaign. But it was definitely pro-Huckabee, and it was a "push poll."
Caller ID lists it as "Virginia: 703-961-1077"
703-961-1077...
...has been disconnected.
HA!
Shady shady
Protections for anonymous speech are vital to democratic discourse. Allowing dissenters to shield their identities frees them to express critical, minority views...Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. - SCotUS, 1995
did you tell them...

FORGET these dumb polls..
On the next page their article shows him at 4% and their expanded poll results do not have him posted..
See Update- Huckabee Push Poll
Please read my updated post for details of a Huckabee push poll I received at 3:56 p.m. ET.
I think the push poll deserves a new topic.

Might be on to something
Their website is sneaky. Absolutely no listing of any names behind the organization, contacts, etc. Definitely designed to hide who they are or who is behind it. That's super sleazy from the start.
They list the following states as key states: Arkansas, South Dakota, Colorado, Montana and Louisiana. This certainly does not line up with the primaries, so they have another agenda going on. Could be Senate races, could be alot of things.
Clicking on the main links usually takes you to an extensive personal info questionnaire. This site is set-up for people to volunteer and/or make contributions without having any idea why. So obviously the targeted audience is being directed to the website from and by other organizations.
Very secretive, almost like a phony intelligence agency website (which I am NOT saying it is).
sorry, one last link
This Denver Post article digs up even more. Sleazebags for sure.

follow up
Washington Post published a piece of this organization and what they did for Huckabee in Iowa.

Still is shadowy organization even after reading this.
Results are in..?
Looks like the results are in... maybe. It's dated today, but also says it was done before last night's debate:

Edit: Just noticed it also says "Rasmussen Reports will be releasing new polling data on the New Hampshire race each morning until Tuesday." So there you go, your vote will count tomorrow morning.

Obviously the poll she was called on today won't be published until tomorrow morning.
Yep, def. a new poll
Here's a pic of my caller ID from the poll. I hope those results are out ASAP!

Romney not so much-
because people here know what he did in MA. Some even moved here across the border because of Romney.
But McCain? I don't know how they can stomach him, either. I hope they've learned from the last time they backed McCain.
As far as my immediate neighbors go: the one on the left of me (LOL) had a small Hilary sign, and the one on the right had a small McCain sign. But they got plowed under the snow long ago with the first 10" snowstorm a couple weeks ago. They never dug the signs out, and never replaced them.
I now have Ron Paul signs not only in the center of my front lawn, but at the extents of my property on the huge snowbanks, and so it appears that both neighbors support Ron Paul, too. ;)
Did they not...
bother to ask who you were actually going to vote for? Or did they only ask you how favorably viewed each candidate?
Yes!
Oh Duh- they did, I'll edit to add that in, thanks. :)
Okay.
That makes it better.
