Who on the PT has been contacted by telephone for a political poll in the last 6 months?

Someone was talking about how "representative" TD/PT is, which is debatable, but it raises the question of whether any of the denizens of this august body are being included in polling.
Other than what was clearly a local "flash" poll regarding the Louisiana governor's race, I have not been contacted in the last 6 months for any political poll.
Anyone?

I did a 20 minute one two weeks ago for LA Governor.

Since I cut my landline I don't think I've ever been called on my cell phone by a candidate.

comment deleted - it helps to read the post instead of the title. My ADHD is real.

What I want to know is who are the retards that actually answer the phone for these calls, and even moreso, who are the people that stick around and participate in whatever poll or survey is conducted.
Anyone I know or have ever been around when they receive robo-calls or obvious spam calls ignores the call or hangs up immediately.
In short: why do we base our perception of what candidate is in the lead on the opinions of people who are stupid enough to participate in polling calls?

3 times for state poll. could tell 2 were from Rispone's camp based on the poll questions
last one was sponsored by Garret Graves opponent as the questions were "if you knew Garret Graves vote to XXXX would that change your opinion of him...." type questions

I got one about a month or two ago regarding the lafayette mayor/ president race. I assume it was the from the Guillory campaign.

This attitude, while common, is laden with douchebaggery.
Watching shows like 'The Bachelor' is common too.

I received that call about the governor's race.

I’ll play. Why am I “stupid” for answering some polling questions when called?

I have. I either make shite up or don’t answer.
