They made 8012 calls, and spoke to 212 people.

I wonder what the breakdown is on the 7800 people who wouldn’t talk to them (or couldn’t be reached).

[Democrats hate too much]

Instead of calls, you should search for public facebook posts that have either of the candidates names in the post. The write comments, clear up fake news, defend our candidate and spread the facts.

WAY MORE PRODUCTIVE THEN MAKING CALLS!!!

That’s the new normal for all phone polling data.

This is typical.

The Obama administration removed blocks on cellular cold calling from sales people and fundraisers, so a sizable and growing portion of the populace understandably only answers calls from people on their contact list,

It’s not likely the case that they ever got to talk to many of the 7800 people who didn’t answer.

That's the hard thing about being a pollster today. We squandered our credibility and now so few will talk to us that we don't know how to adjust for the very low response rates. This response rate is so low that it's meaningless, and even adjusting for demographics is still meaningless. [Note: I'm retired, but I see how hard it has become.]

2% respond? Good thing we have elections./s
