Last night, I got called and polled for the coming election.
Was asked if I was voting for Trump, Clinton or Johnson. No questions about Stein.
Answered Trump.
Was asked in NC, if I was voting for Burr or his opponent.
Answered Burr.
Was asked if I'd seen any ads in the last two weeks in favor of Trump.
I answered yes. I said that I'd seen several.
Was asked if I'd seen any ads in the last two weeks attacking Clinton.
I answered yes. Told them I saw an NRA ad and it was quite effective.
Was asked if I'd seen any ads favoring Clinton. Said yes, and I'd fast forwarded through them.
Was asked if I'd seen any ads attacking Trump. Said yes, and they were useless.
Also in NC:
I had a young person come to the door and ask some preference questions Trump/ Clinton, McCrory/Cooper Burr and whoever the bimbo is running for the dumbles
THEN I get a request to fill out an online survey in the mail with an access code...never had that before...with the promise of some follow-up surveys in the weeks ahead.[ I forget the name of the organization right now]
I thought about getting cutsey with my responses but then decided to play it fairly straight because if the results somehow get into the media, I WANT NC to not be skewed dumblecrat...
I wondered if the door guy was gathering info for the mail request.
I was on my cell. I don’t have a land line. They asked for me by name.
Honestly, didn’t pay it any attention.
I was driving to dinner. My fiancee wanted me to play around with them. Tell them I was Hillary all the way.
This was my first time since 2004.
It's been a while for me, too, but not like that!
I get polled—NIGHTLY—by two different pollsters and one other every week.
I tell them yes, Hillary is my choice. I tell them no, I do not abbrove of Giv. Rainer. Yes, I am very likely to vote in the election. Four voting age adults in the house. Yes, we’re all dyed in the will liberals.
Can’t wait until our four “guaranteed” Cankles votes show up for PRESIDENT Trump!!!
Trump / Pence 2016!!!
Im in Illinois. Nobody called to poll me.
lol. Just tell them you have an Apple!
That was the q I was going to ask too. We have a land line here but never use it. No one knows the number.
Glad to see they are calling on cell lines now.
Haha.....I’ll try that next call! Thanks!
Lol!!!
See, that kind of racist polling means that many polls are not accurate.
And what is the point to that, for Hillary? She wants her push polls to show her ahead when she is not? Because it doesn’t mean votes.
I’m starting to think we might be able to win this thing. Oh, yeah, I forgot: they are going to cheat. Well, if we can somehow catch them...
I also receive yougov polls. Months ago I did receive one that had some political questions included but none since that time. Guess I am not in the part of their population that they want based on my responses to that poll.
Now I just receive ones asking about all kinds of brand names - most of which I haven’t heard of and/or do not use. Only reason I participate is so I can build up points and use them to get a Game Stop gift card for my grandson.
The phone script reader just repeated the question. I again explained the situation and that I might vote Democrat in one and Republican in the other. He repeated the Question.
There are some ignorant polls out there. From the other questions I sensed that this poll was trying to figure out how long the coat-tails were for Presidential candidates. But it was really ignorant of local issues. I hung up after a while.
I used to play with them, I’d ask if they have take out...
LAZ!!!!
Trust you to always have something fun to say.
Been a while. Hope you’ve been well.
Braggart.
I answered that I was Independent (which I am). Came really close to saying I was a Democrat just to skew it. But I don't want to see fake numbers in my direction.
Had one tell me he from Florida. I said, oh, you’re right next to Colorado then. He said yes. I asked what city? He said, Boca Raton. I asked what county? And he said he wasn’t authorized to tell me that. LOL
I told him it’s not that your not authorized, its because you don’t even know what a county is—because you’re calling from sh!thole in India or Pakistan, not Florida. I tell them Vishnu was really pissed at him for lying and trying to steal money. Sometimes I tell them I just had one of their cousins for lunch.
“I do not respond to ANY calls land line or cell, that do not identify the caller; out of state are automatic rejected; local number, the same.”
I actually had one call with my own name and land line number on the caller ID! I just had to answer that one. Was some frickin’ robot.
“and on and on. They don’t know what to do in response.”
I keep a phonetic outline of Hindi insults I got off of Google translate in just such cases.
“I immediately go into my gold buying routine with the computer or IRS scammers.”
My goal with these people is as long as I have some free time I keep them on the phone for as long as possible before telling them I am from the FBI. The “click” when they hang up is music to my ears.
