The reason I don’t do surveys or polls is the folks running them usually already know what they want the results to be and tailor the questions to accomplish that.

I was polled once during the W Bush administration.

Halfway through the poll I noticed they were asking some questions a second, or third, time in a slightly different way engineered to reduce the Presidents approval number down.
I told the caller she had asked me many of the same questions with different wording. “Sir, I just ask the questions they give me.”
Okay.

When the poll was over I said, using my best Andy Griffith voice, “Well I’ll be! If I didn’t know better I would think y’all are trying to make the President look bad. Y’all wouldn’t do that now would you.”
I haven’t been bothered by pollsters since.

I may be uneducated but I ain’t stupit.
