Hey, does anyone know if any of the polls tracks non-responses, those who decline to answer? Can you specify or include links?

Most of the polls I've received are automated--no room to ask questions or make any response other than what they ask for.
Sometimes, if you don't give them the answer they're looking for (on "live" polls), they'll just hang up when you tell them who you are supporting.
Whether they include that call in their count...I don't know!

Thanks, I was just curious really. Not sure it would give much information either way, but I thought it would be interesting to find out how many are called but don't give a response.

They do - refused or declined to answer are options.
As for the polls...lots of back pedaling going on lately. Suddenly, the polls are tightening way up.
After the election is over, your reputation depends on how close you actually were.
