Ever been polled?

[knucklehead]

You turn on the TV set, all ya hear is about this poll, and that poll, and some other polls. I've had a home/landline phone for almost 40 years, and I've never been polled about an election, ever. Is it just me?

But Danika Patrick did call me the other day, telling me about GoDaddy's specials.

DUDE!!!....I said the same thing on facebook the other day. About how we ALWAYS got 5000 surveys, polls and never in my 46 years on eath have I ever been asked to participate...its all BS!!!

 

[Craig Sjoquist]

Yes in fact just before the 1st debate, was asked about 20 plus questions some where shifted to how I answered or not.
Was interesting & fact finding not even misleading, but then again do I believe in polls taken, well guess it depends on who is financing them in which questions asked.

There is 3 billion people in the great America land so can you reach even 10% in a short time frame.

More like 300 million.

I get calls all the time,, i am sick of them. I hang up for them all now.

 

[James Burke]

Thanks to caller ID, I no longer answer the poll calls, but I DO VOTE!

I no longer answer the telemarketer calls either, and that alone has drastically reduced the number of those annoying calls.

I hung up after about the 40th question

 

[SignManiac]

I never give out information to any telemarketers unless they give me a credit card number first and then bill them at $75.00 an hour from the first question until the last. None of them seem to want to pay me for my time???

 

[Pixels Are Bad Mmmkay?]

I've never been called for polls before and I'm going on 40 years old. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.

 

[john1]

Kinda personal question don't ya think? I'll keep my polling to myself....lol

Nah no calls yet but i am still young. I'm sure i will get 500 calls now haha

I worked on a pole when I was a orange yonger girl. Made grate money dancing at the "performing arts theater"

 

[John in Cali]

No, Edna, the question was not referring to a gentleman of Polish decent.

 

[CP Signs]

Oh Edna,,,,, you can't spell younger, or great, yet have no problem with " performing arts theatre "!!

 

[thewvsignguy]

The problem is once you get polled and you give that party your answer, if you give them the right answer they call you back over and over in order to get their poll numbers up.

Very deceiving the way they manipulate voters. You need to do your research before you vote, there are more then to two presidential candidates!

I've been polled many times (not the way you think). we just got a call on the weekend and hubby hung up. I usually will answer the questions. you can usually tell who and what by the questions. I've also been pulled when walking thru a local mall to answer some questions.

 

[Gino]

I first thought this was an obscene thread about getting pulled, then I thought of the old **** trick, then as reading more, I thought this was about getting pulled pork sandwiches.

Now I get it...... I hang up on these people all the time or just don't pick up the phone.

We'll all know in due time. Like polls mean anything. It's only there to give news people in all the mediums something to talk about. Without these polls, they'd have to report on traffic or weather conditions.

 

[ddarlak]

a handful of times, i always like getting the call.

the way the system works, your not just answering for yourself, your opinion is multiplied.... gotta like that!

I had a friend of mine that was just out of college during the last election. He got an as he called an "Obama job". All he did was call and ask questions or meet with people at certain areas. He said it was amazing how they would get you to answer the questions the way they wanted you to. Every Monday he would go to an office and for 4-6 hours they would go over the same questions but they were now asked slightly different.

The company hired professional writers, and Psychologists write the questions. They would then teach them how to ask the questions to get the "right" answer. He told me that someone in one of his meetings asked if this really worked. They pulled him up to ask him a question. They showed put up on the screen how they wanted him to answer. My buddy was shocked how they could and did do this. He quit a little bit after that. Said he would never do a question poll again.
