No.Not one.
I used to get a number of polling calls every year (we have general elections in Virginia every November). Since my Apple Iphone now displays such calls as “Potential Spam”, I don’t answer them, and as a result I haven’t taken one pollster call this year.
Me either. If the call isn't from someone in my Contact List, I don't answer it, I let it go to voicemail. Maybe once per month someone leaves a voicemail that's not a sales job, if that.
If the pole is done by a female I usually ask are they wearing panties and if so what color they usually hang up.
That explains why Wiki lists a single lesbian Latina under demographics.

For PA.
I did take one last year as they said the poll was about the gas and oil issues in New Mexico so I said sure I’ll try it.
Question #1. Are you for fracking in NM?
ME: Yes, I’m for it.
Questioner: Are you strongly against, slightly against, neutral, slightly for it, or strongly for it?
At this point I hung up. (I am not very bright) But I’ve learned to hang up before question #1.
I was polled in August. I believe it was a leftist pollster; not sure. I answered the questions as a die hard conservative would. The last question was who I was going to vote for President. I told them that if my arms and legs were broken I would still crawl thtough 5 miles of broken glass to vote for Trump. They thanked me for my time.
I don’t answer the phone unless I know the number. So no, I have not been polled. If I somehow ended up talking to a pollster I would lie like a rug.
Absolutely true.
I will only take automated polls where you can use the key pad because other wise they could tell that I'm not a 35 year old Latina.
During the few times that I've taken a poll, I ALWAYS LIE.
Thanks to spammers and robocalls, many, many people simply do not answer a call from a number they do not recognize. Additionally, many people are cutting the landline and have a cell phone as their only number. For all practical purposes, cell numbers are unlisted. Seems to me that any poll based upon telephone calls in this environment is automatically inaccurate.
