Poll Fraud
Boomer | 8.21.16 | Self

Posted on 08/21/2016 2:37:14 PM PDT by Boomer

Just got a call from a poll taker who after 90 seconds and me answering their question of race (white) decided they have their quota of male answers. Total fraud. The poll taker knew I was male right from the beginning but it was only after I said I was white that she used the pretext of me being male to end the survey.

I am going on the assumption that all poll takers are corrupt and fraudulent. The next time I decide to answer their poll questions and they ask my race; I will say Hispanic to see how far they get before deciding my answers were not the answers they wanted to record for their survey.

They clearly had a pre-determined result in mind before starting the poll.

Moral of the story is to assume all phone polls done these days are corrupted.

Chances are it was a push poll rather than a legitimate survey.

This not necessarily fraud. They try to balance respondents by race,gender, and party affiliation.

Self identify as a black next time if you want

Never complain, never explain...never participate in phone polls.

Yup...they are fudging the results big time. Wonder what they would have done if you said you were a transgendered person? Ha!

Tells me that Trump is way ahead and the dumb sheep who are on local and cable news shows are falling for this nonsense that Trump is way behind and could never win.

Next time, instead of saying ‘white’, try ‘cracker’ or ‘honky’.

No it was probably because you said you were white.

Your fault for being honest with these clowns. I had 2 pollsters call me in the past 3 months and I told them i was mexican and will vote for the ‘gringo Trump”.

If it was a legitimately polling organization they did the right thing.

Once a quota cell is filled, there would be no need to interview respondents in that quota cell.

I agree. I used to do it,way back in the 70s,and getting past the screening questions was often quite difficult.

That’s about 89.5 seconds longer than what I usually give them.
