Question

In the 2016 presidential primary in South Carolina between Donald J. Trump and Ted Cruz (R-TX), one candidate blamed the other for intentionally introducing biased information to the respondents in order to manipulate their opinions. What is this polling strategy called?

Answer 1

The polling strategy that was used in the 2016 Presidential primary in South Carolina was called a push poll.

Explanation:

This type of polling that was used is when candidates intentionally manipulate the public by using questions that are questionable. They do this by push polling citizens in the state by calling the poll an "opinion poll."

This is a negative way to campaign by using negative questions about the opponent. The pollers also will ask leading questions to get the answers they may otherwise would not of gotten.

Push polls are used in Presidential elections the most, but are used in other elections as well. The American Association for Public Opinion Research has rejected this type of polling.
