I would not trust someone offering absentee ballots door to door. More likely trying to disenfranchise you by having you fill out the ballot and then dump it, not mail it in, preventing a vote against Obama.
The door to door election study is likely a scam. I’ve received phone surveys several times for my view on the election. I’ve been in focus groups by colleges for political opinions. In all cases, such as stopped in the mall, started with “I’m XYZ, with such and such university, and we are doing a political survey of likely voters, would you like to participate.” No one has come to my door, and it certainly wouldn’t be an “election study” without a clear and up front statement of the credentials. I deliberately join these surveys to ensure that Republicans are represented and even took follow up surveys specifically for Republicans. All surveys started with the person’s name, here’s my supervising professor, I go to this school.
I think you’re getting targeted because of the Romney sign.
“I deliberately join these surveys to ensure that Republicans are represented and even took follow up surveys specifically for Republicans.”
Thank you!
I get annoyed with folks, here and elsewhere, who are so proud they lie to survey takers. First of all I used to take surveys and all we wanted was a person’s true opinion.
Secondly, you don’t believe the polls, but you’ve lied to them, so who’s at fault, really?
As a former survey taker of course I’ll take all surveys. And why would I lie and say what? I’m voting for Obama? I’d rather cut my throat! I’d be disgusted to even say it as a lie.
