There is a very funny episode of a Brit comedy "Yes Minister" where

a character argued that polls were conclusive.

Another character then asked him two sets of questions on whether there

should be a return to National Service.

Different questions led to different conclusions. It's called "Push Polling"

and has been used here as a political weapon.
