Several pollsters I spoke to this week said there isn't a notable disparity between the types of people who answer questions and those who do not. John Zogby, president and CEO of Zogby International, told me that over the past few decades, there has been a "democratization of refusals" and that there is a 95-percent confidence rate in polls' accuracy. ...

I am howling with laughter. Ummm.... Beyond even the growing number of Indies, how do they know what "type of people" someone is who won't even talk to them.

I know they have registration lists, but how do they know a D is a radical socialist D or an intelligent Reagan Democrat. How do they know if an R is a drooling Snow/Collins R or a real Republican.

Fortunately they can read minds with the click of a hang up as the only clue.

LOL...reminds me of a commercial for a TV show years ago...(Scene) Dark screen, phone ringing. Answering Machine Message plays: "Pyschic Detective Agency...we know who you are, we know what you want...hang up we'll call you back."

I too am on the Do Not Call List and even when I can see it's a Pollster I refuse to answer...main reason; I choose not to waste my (unpaid) time and disrupt my real life.

My wife takes those "couples" magazine quizzes and fills my answers in for me.
