I don’t think I get poll calls, but I usually don’t answer my cell if I don’t recognize the number.

Something unrelated though happened Sunday night that I though was a little peculiar and suspicious. I tried to place an order online for my kids Halloween costumes and my card wouldn’t go through even though I had plenty of money in account. I called my bank and they had put a temporary freeze on the card for “suspicious” activity. I had donated to the Donald, then ordered a Women for Trump bumper sticker from another website. The bank guy wanted to know if I placed the orders to Donald J. Trump and the other site. I proudly stated that I had and laughed. He wasn’t laughing. So are we being called out for being for Trump?

“I think Donald is way, way ahead.

I agree. This was the first election where there is a concerted effort among liberals to simply lie and they could care less if they get caught. They have always lied some, but this time it is Hitlery driving the demand for great numbers.

I was polled around 3 weeks ago. The guy was clearly calling from a warehouse in Bombay...I’m not kidding. I could barely understand him, and he had trouble hearing me. It took forever, as he had lots of questions about local races too, and I almost hung up.

The whole affair left me with even less confidence in polling.

I’ve been polled before. They asked me a couple of questions, didn’t get the answers they wanted, and created a dial tone. I guess I flunked the test.

I think Donald is way, way ahead.

Can't be - heard from a NBC "news" station on my car radio this morning that Hillary is ahead by 14 points with likely voters......

I would love to see Trump ask the question at his 20,000+ rallies, “has anyone here been called by a pollster, ANY pollster?”

That would be a great question. If any had, hope they lied and said Hellary or Johnson.

I haven't seen a single Hellary sign in TX. Not even the guy down the street who always puts bill board sized RAT sign on his property or down on political corner where every politician's sign is posted. I get updates from someone who travels for work and he's been saying for months that no one he's spoken to is voting for Hellary until he was in California recently.

I think at best only 4% of those phoned give responses.

Not a registered as either, been Independent for all those years, only became a Republican this year to get Trump on the ballot. I will go back to Independent after the election. Once an American Patriot Party is a reality, I may switch again. I prefer a Party that has the guts to fight back when confronted with all the tactics of the win at all counts, means justify the ends, no holds barred, throw mud Party.

I happened to be polled — push-polled — today on the house landline. I think it was mostly for our PA Senate race, Kate McGinty (D) vs Pat Toomey (R).

There were a fair number of the standard Presidential questions, but there was some very specific push-polling against Pat Toomey, using pretty much verbatim some of the charges in the TV ads that are running on every break on every station.

Highlight:

Poll taker: “Next question. Pat Toomey voted to defund Planned Parenthood, even standing with the Tea Party to shut down the federal government...”, blah blah, restricted women’s access to cancer diagnosis and “health services...”, blah blah, “Does this make you Very Concerned about him, Somewhat Concerned...”, etc.
Me: “Not Concerned at all — that’s one of the reasons I’m voting for him!”

True story.
