DC Tom Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 ever been asked about this years presidential contest? I'm just wonder how the pollsters come up with their numbers. I've been called by polling organizations before. Not recently, though...since I live in the People's Democratic Republic of Maryland, polls are pointless. Probably the same with Chef Jim - who needs to poll California? Just pick the Democrats on the ballot...except in places like Bezerkley, where you pick the die-hard socialists.

/dev/null Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I have not and live in a swing state (VA). However I screen all my calls so it's possible I've just ignored them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's why polls are bogus these days. What percentage of the population answers their phones these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I just got a call for one. On my cell phone. Which has a VA number, even though I live in MD. Yeah, that's going to be an accurate poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbillievable Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 One of my co-workers got called during our lunch break. He took the time to answer all the questions while I chanted "Left is right!" in the background. He's an ultra-liberal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) And that's why polls are bogus these days. What percentage of the population answers their phones these days?I'll have you know I do. And they're important. As a hard working black woman of Latino descent now facing retirement @23 yrs old with 7 kids its a good thing I earned a post graduate degree after my armed services career then to the private sector where I earned $280k+ but rent my 2 bedroom apartment and plan to vote Trump...

I suspect that I'm like most people in that I communicate primarily thru text and only answer my personal phones when I recognize the number. And some folks even got trolled into thinking they can vote via text: https://www.wired.com/2016/11/ignore-trolls-definitely-cannot-vote-via-text/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I've been called many times before but not this year. Maybe they aren't interested in us independent voters this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Of course you can. It's just like American Idol." It's sad to think about how many people would believe that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
