A. Push polls can affect public opinion even though they can't measure itB. Push polls can be used to accurately measure public opinionC. Push polls are often used to sway public opinion but have proved ineffectiveD. Push polls were rightly made illegal by the Texas legislature

Answer 1

The correct answer is A: Push polls can affect public opinion even though they can't measure it

Step-by-step explanation:

Push polls, although are not real polls, can be used to influence the opinion of the public rather than to reflect it. In the Dan Morales case in 1996, polls were created in order to manipulate and provide a false picture of the opinion of the public. It almost made Dan Morales not to file a lawsuit against tobacco companies at the time. This is because people believed polls are useful and reliable, and thus this can mislead the public.
