The man polling said he had three questions for me.
Some HMOs which include prescription drug coverage will cover Viagra for men but not birth control for women. Do you think that HMOs should cover both?
(me)I don't think either should be covered because they are essentially lifestyle drugs (I'm a girl, okay? Don't flame me!)
Abortion is a safe and legal choice available to women in our country. Do you believe that there should be any restrictions on a woman's right to have an abortion?
(me)I think abortion should be criminalized.
I thank you for your time, Miss Ellis, you have a pleasant evening.
What do you suppose the third question was? Do you see how easily a poll can be skewed?
sounds like push-polling where they are trying to push you to a position
So many people don't answer their phone anymore --- or only answer their cell phones, or especially they don't answer their phones when they are gone at work or if they think it might be a telemarketer calling. How could you get a decent poll even if you wanted to? How do you possibly find a good cross section of voters? I can't think of any way that isn't going to get skewed results one way or another.
Viagra does return functionality.
