I've had them, and if you're a registered voter you've had them as well.

I'm in California and received a call yesterday from the "Trusted Leadership PAC" - was a robo call (press 1, press 2, etc).

I did a little investigating to find that this group is a Ted Cruz PAC.

I believe they're fishing to find out how hard Cruz needs to campaign in California to win repub votes.

How about your calls?

I hang up on them all. My vote is not their business to begin with but what really irks me is that the results are used by politicans and media alike to manipulate the voters and elections. I'm not participating.

I have been a registered voter since 1972 and have never gotten one. I'm with OldHag1 on this if I do get one though when it comes to political calls. Also, I don't believe they may not be putting down what the person being polled actually says but what they want to hear. I don't answer surveys unless they offer a "premium", you know coupons or a chance to win something, my time has a price!

You mean there are still people who pick up calls from a unrecognizable number? This is 2016.

The ringer is turned off on my landline. I only use it for outgoing calls. I have no idea who calls me on it. But I would tell whoever called, you are voting for Cruz. Give the rat and his minions a false sense of security.
