I was polled about an hour ago. We live in Arizona. We moved here in 2016 (escaped from California). I was happy to participate in the polling because I feel as though at least our vote makes a difference here.
Sucker.
I’m sure there are lots of people like yourself who do respond to pollsters. From a statistical viewpoint, that would make sense. However, I would bet that the majority of respondents are skewed toward the Takers.
Many people are preoccupied with other things or just don’t like answering a lot of questions from anyone. The same thing is basically true with respect to other types of polls. The response rate is typically very low.
