This evening I got a robocall which stated they were IMG Reasearch and were conducting a poll. Seems the number has been reported by others as a nuance. I am not familiar with the company.
The call started out fairly normal, asking questions about approval for Walsh, Baker, then Question 1 and then Question 2. But then the questions started to push some messaging on Charter Schools, there were about 5 questions in a row about charters. Then the last question felt like a push poll question trying to push the idea about more funding for schools with more charters. The reason I took it for a push poll, is that this ad came out today, it was almost exactly how the question was framed.
So does anyone know if these guys are legit, or are charters starting a push poll.

I got one a couple of weeks ago and a few questions in I said out loud to the caller, “This just became a push poll, didn’t it?” The caller pleaded ignorance and said he was just reading the script.

So it would be interesting if Great Schools Mass had any expenditures to this company.

I got a call a few months back, and it was clearly a push poll. However, the questions they were asking sort of went along race and social justice lines. Pretty much the way the questions were phrased, if your answers were anti-charter school, then you were also in favor of condemning children of color to some kind of pre-integration separate and unequal educational system.
I called them out on it, for all the good it did.

Nothing came up.
I just went through their OCPF listings. Nothing fit. It could be buried in marketing or another category.
