Pennachio cries foul

"It's unfair, it's unbalanced and it's actually electioneering,"

That's how Chuck Pennachio described his treatment by Pennsylvania's pollsters. He is claiming that because he is mentioned so far down in the poll that this is a sort of push poll for the Casey Campaign. He claims that voters are fatigued by the time they get to his name. Pollsters are now taking the unusual step of criticizing a candidate with Christopher Borick of Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion poll saying:

"What we really found incredibly reckless was throwing around the word 'push poll,' which in our line of business is a horrible tool that masks as polling and is used by campaigns unethically to sway voters under the auspices of polling,"

Chuck should be glad that a marginal candidate at best is even being mentioned in a poll. First he complains about not being in the poll now he complains about the manner in which he is mentioned in the poll.
