If there is not a name or I do not recognize the number on caller ID, I do not answer the phone.

Same here. I made the mistake of answering a pollster during the 2004 elections. I thought I'd NEVER get finished with that call. We get the "Political Caller" on the ID every evening. I refuse to answer.

Same here. I made the mistake of answering a pollster during the
2004 elections. I thought I'd NEVER get finished with that call.

I had the same experience back when the San Fernando Valley
was trying to break off as a separate city from Los Angeles.
I'm pretty sure the telephone pollster was working for The LA Times
trying to drum up "evidence" the public didn't want the schism.

This household does NOT do telephone polls.
Which means we've said "No thank you" and hung up on two pollsters
already this season.
