I don’t see how these pollsters even reach people. We get so many robo calls, we rarely answer the phone. We let the answering machine get it. If a recording or the caller ID indicates it’s a poll, I’m not interested.
Not everyone shuns the pollsters, like you. I recognize a couple of caller ID’s and answer and give them truthful preferences.
I want pollsters to know I’m supporting Trump. On the other hand, I’ll be quite pleased shy voters give DjT a huge election night drubbing...so overwhelming that post election vote counting won’t make a damn difference.
I did answer the phone for a poll. The only question I was asked was how likely I was to vote in the November Presidential election. When I answered that only death would keep me from voting. My “poll” abruptly stopped. The poll was from the Beto PAC. Guess they knew who I would be voting for in the election.
I have t answer my land-line phone for reasons of my job. When I pick it up and say hello and get no answer for 2 seconds or get some other indication that it is a robo or other advertising call I lay it face down on the table and let the person or the tape talk to the tabletop. When it goes beep beep beep I hang it up.
