Lally Demands Transparency

John Yarmuth’s most recent poll was performed by the Democrat-affiliated polling firm Coopers & Secrest.

Coopers & Secrest have cultivated a reputation as Democratic push-pollster in a number of districts across the country. Most  recently, Coopers & Secrest was accused of attacking Gov. Bobby Jindal in 2007 for being Catholic. Such allegations have surfaced in other areas as well. In Ohio, Coopers & Secrest alleged in their polling that Republican Martin Hoke was a member of a cult.

That John Yarmuth would engage such a disreputable firm demonstrates his lack of respect for the opinions of his constituency, which simply confirms the trend established by his voting record.

We call on John Yarmuth to immediately make all polling scripts from his campaign available to the public.

The Lally campaign has never engaged in push-polling. All internal polls are “tracking” polls, and follow widely-accepted polling standards for such polls. Further, all Lally phone bank scripts are available to the public by request.
