Iowans may have received a flyer in the mail recently encouraging them to participate in an AP/Fox News Election Survey.

One Iowan took them up on their offer and this was their experience.

The person who took the call couldn’t pronounce the word caucus and, when they answered, asked why the person was calling. When the caller said to take the survey, the operator said good, they were being protective.

The operator asked who the individual was supporting and then asked if Donald J. Trump was not on the ballot if they would support Nikki Haley or Ron DeSantis.

The caller said neither and asked if Vivek Ramaswamy was an option.

The operator said no.

The conversation was about 15 minutes long and the questions were framed in a certain way.

For example, the operator asked if immigration has been good or bad for the country. The caller stopped and asked if she was asking about legal or illegal immigration since they are two different things. The survey didn’t differentiate.

Even though Vivek was not a choice, at the end of the survey Asa Hutchinson’s name surfaced.

  1. The media and pollsters don’t like VIVEK because he’s the only candidate to stand up to their stupidity and bias. And, they are not ready for TRUTH.

  2. Phone polls should never be trusted, they do not reach a large enough segment as people no longer answer unknown numbers. They also word their questions very specifically to get guide the person being interviewed. These polls are the furthest thing from honest and impartial.
