Thanks OldVirginian.
Your polling experience is interesting. I’ve had that number pulled on me also. I used to get polled by a certain firm every 18 months or so for about three times, but at one point I must have tipped my hand that I was Conservative. I haven’t been called back in years.
I don’t mind being polled, but I’m actually checking out their tactics. Is it a push poll? Is it designed to weed out Conservatives? Is there a clear bias to the questions?
I enjoy studying what they are up to.
The first poll I was in stirred my suspicions.
The second confirmed the tactic.
After that I just told them I didn’t have the time when they called.
After the third time they stopped calling.
I don’t find it interesting, it just raised my blood pressure.
But I find the aroma of cattle and horses reassuring, so I guess I am a bit different.
