Have you been polled?



If so when? What did they ask?

I’m just curious. I don’t have a lot of faith in polls currently or even in previous years—especially since Bush II.

I’ve never been called. I asked a group of friends yesterday and out of four one was called but declined to participate.

I live in Iowa so we get polled somewhat frequently.
This one was a programed voice.
Repub or dem?
then several questions concerning ranking or positive or negative on Biden, Mayor Pete, Sanders, Harris and Warren - no others.

Likelihood of caucusing?
Who will you caucus for if it was today?

In the past I have been push polled by Republicans many times. When live callers would call I would always try yo chat with them. One time I told a female poller how her husband was lying to her about health care - he told her Repubs wanted universal HC. This was pre-Obama.

In which I have been able to say that I strongly disapprove of Trump's performance. In 2012, I was exit polled by MSNBC after casting my vote for Obama.

I'd get left leaning polls after I started getting involved in Democratic party functions. But after a while I got tired of being a certain liberal voice in these polls so now I decline.

I was also was involved in Zogby polls. They'd give you access to polling data if you took several polls. They stopped asking me to contribute.
