How do they pick those for polling? I have never been called for any of these polls.
I don’t know. I’ve never been called for a political poll, but I’ve been called for other polls.
The Nielson TV rating company somehow selected me once, and I found that my TV viewing habits completely changed during the week I was collecting data for them. Friends asked me to watch shows on their behalf so the ratings would go up...
“...How do they pick those for polling?...”
I read a link or heard on an interview recently (forget which), that the pollsters know exactly which zip codes to call within to support the results they want and this would not surprise me at all, although I can’t personally verify the statement.
