> Survey of 2,500 Likely Voters... <

Here’s how it works.

Telephone pollster: Whom are voting for this November?
Liberal: I’m voting for Joe Biden! And here why...blah, blah, blah.

Telephone pollster: Whom are voting for this November?
Conservative: (click...hangs up)

I believe Rasmussen uses the same 2500 voters each time and calls them in groups of 600 over 4 separate days. Thats the way it used to be done when Rasmussen actually owned the Rasmussen Polling.

Exactly. I’m getting so many Socialist Democrat robo-calls it’s ridiculous! I haven’t answered a one, so I’m sure they’re putting me down in the ‘Voting for Slow Joe & Heels Up’ column.

I screen all calls to avoid telemarketers. Pollsters would lose out, too!! But they don’t need to know whom I am voting for, anyway.

I wonder how many others screen calls as I do. If they are a significant number, these polls cannot be accurate!

I had a pollster start acting like she couldn’t hear me a few weeks ago after it became apparent that I was going to vote straight GOP.

Just remember, Hillary was up by twelve. They have to do this kind of crap to keep the GOP from winning the House and keeping the Senate.

These polls are generally hogwash, and have been for years.

I used to be a telephone pollster until last December, and I can tell you it absolutely DOES NOT work that way.
Trump and Biden votes BOTH get counted towards the survey results, and they couldn’t care less WHY you’re voting one way or the other; just which candidate you’re voting for. We NEVER asked someone why, but rather try to move the survey along if they insist on telling us why.

You clearly have no idea how political telephone polling works.

Here is how it goes:
Pollster: “Who are your voting for?”
Liberal: “Blah blah blah...”

Conservative: Checks number. “Who the hell is that?” Silences ringer.
