If it’s ethical, and a “valuable service,” it’s not a push poll.  A push poll is an advertisement done over the phone in the form of a poll.  It is not a poll.

Not necessarily. There are all kinds of push polls. I can certainly design one that would be ethical and a valuable service to public discourse.

You say that a poll should not pretend to be something it is not. A hallmark of a push poll is falsehoods masquerading as a poll, thereby giving the impression they must be true since they are delivered in a question format that credible polling organizations use.
