I don’t answer the phone when I don’t recognize the number. How many people are like me and how accurate can any poll be when this happens?
Same here. Too many spam calls. I don't answer if I don't recognize the number.
I wouldn't answer a polling call anyway. Sucks to be you, pollsters.
The last robo poll I answered I was a pro-life black lesbian conservative.
I don’t answer the phone unless the caller starts leaving a message. That’s because I get too many unwanted calls from those who are just trolling for money.
Until recently, I thought that my phone habits were weird and standoffish. But then I read an article that said that I’m doing what most Americans do!
I guess that there are just too many telemarketers and robocalls, which have kept people from answering their phone directly. But that will hurt polling, too!
I live in a district with a competitive and controversial congressional race.
I’ve rec’d two pollster calls. I lie to them.
New York Times polls this year suggest a response rate of 1% to 5%. I cannot determine the political bias of the few respondents.
I too never answer the phone if I don’t recognize the number. If it is important they can leave a message and I’ll get back to them.
Same here, don’t recognize the number don’t answer. If they leave no message then the number is added to my block list. I’m sure that practice of non-answering unknown calls must be wide spread giving the increase in telemarketers and scammers. So how accurate can telephone polls be?
“I don’t answer the phone when I don’t recognize the number.
I don’t either.
