		<description><![CDATA[HARRIS PSEUDO POLL—YOUR EMAIL FOR YOUR VOTE It was hardly a surprise when Rep. Andy Harris (R-1) voted against both articles of the impeachment resolution against President Trump in the US House on Wednesday (12/18/2019), since he had opposed the process from the outset and holds a staunch pro-Trump voting record. So it might seem a bit surprising that he would solicit constituent’s views on the matter in a Facebook “poll” and a telephone robocall just a few days before the House vote—could a possible pro-impeachment outcome perhaps change his mind? Little danger of that, it seems, since the methodology bore no resemblance to any standard of legitimate poll-taking in the real world. The 12/16/19 telephone robocall, voiced initially by Harris, asked listeners to register whether they opposed, “strongly opposed,” supported or “strongly supported” impeachment. But respondents were subsequently told by another voice that their vote would not be recorded unless they agreed to provide their email address and agreed to receive Harris’ newsletter. If the listener declined to do so, the call was terminated without registering the individual’s opinion.

		<description><![CDATA[Poll on Same-Sex Marriage: What’s the Question? Opponents of the bill to legalize same-sex marriage in Maryland recently commissioned a poll which they claim shows a significant majority of voters oppose legalization. But the questions they say were asked are not the same questions that this reporter was asked when a pollster said to be representing the same organization called our home phone. The National Organization for Marriage states its poll of 600 registered voters found that respondents opposed legalization by a margin of 54-37. The group also states that 78 percent of respondents wanted voters, not the General Assembly, to decide the issue. (See NOM’s press release with details of its poll here: https://www.scribd.com/doc/49058222/Maryland-Poll-FINAL-02-17-11 The yes-or-no questions we were asked were different from the more open-ended questions listed on the press release that would have elicited what’s called in the polling world “volunteered” answers. Anyone who has spent time dealing with polls—as we did in our previous life supervising poll reporting for the Baltimore Sun—knows that how you ask a question can influence the outcome.
