Has anyone on this board responded to a political poll?

I'm trying to ascertain who these mythical people are that are being polled week to week. I've never met someone who has actually engaged in such an activity. Have you?

Once. 2018 PA midterms.
I don't even know how they actually find people. Seems like taking a straw poll at Walmart would be a better method

No, because most of us are not in a swing State. Pollsters mostly focus on those and then weight accordingly. It's not who they poll that is the problem (though it is a factor), but it is how the perform their weighting with their data that really matters. They intentionally make these polls say what they want it to say.

No need

Big data mining has already identified all of the people who post on this board

They already know who you will vote against

I have. I live in such a rural area that I have to have a landline to get internet service. I get called probably once a week by Rasmussen. For a while I was answering their questions but lately, I've been hanging up.

Not this year but a few different elections in the past.

They survey 100 bots. If they don’t give them the answers they need, they make shite up.

Somehow they have my cell phone number. I’ve been asked in 20,22 and this year. Always tell them I’m voting democrat, so the looney tunes don’t come after me.

I've was contacted by phone for a survey in 2019. I was on my way back from work around 5PM and answered hands free in the car.

First question: are you driving.
Me: Yes

"Sorry, you can't participate in the poll while driving".

My next thought: who is participating in these polls at 5PM on a workday and isn't driving home?

I’m a couple months from 50 and have lived in major metros all my life. Never even heard of any polling experiences from anyone I know.

I'm not sure but I never get any polling calls or texts on my cell phone or via email.

Not a poll per se, but I've had this phone number since 2011 and I still to this day get messages from democrats asking for "Shyronda" to help donate to dem campaigns every election year.

This latest time, instead of just telling them to take my number off the list which hasn't seem to accomplish anything so far, I told them I could donate another dick for Kamala to suck since that seems to be what helped elevate her to this point. Didn't get a response, and I guess I'll see if they continue texting me going forward

Several years ago when we had a landline. Lied to them about everything. After that I got at least 3 more call from 'pollsters.'
