Who has ever been called by a political pollster? (interview, polls, regular)

[PilgrimsProgress]

I never have and I've lived in the same place for many years, had a listed phone number, and was registered to vote.

If you have participated, what were the questions, which election was it for or was it for a particular cause?

I have never met anyone who was called for any type of poll even if it was "What is your favorite cereal?"

[peequi]

Same situation here, never called.
Don't know anyone who has mentioned being called, and I know some fairly active people, regular voters, registered party member, etc

[Mason3000]

Never once.

Me. Yesterday on my cell phone. I chose not to participate, so I cannot relay the specific questions.

I've been called a few times. These days they're mostly automated, press-the-button-to-answer type calls. At least the ones I've gotten.

Over the years, I have been called so many times for both politically-oriented and consumer-oriented polls that I have lost count. Because these folks are trying to earn a living (and probably not being paid very much), I try to cooperate with them.

The only time that I terminated the phone interview was when it became VERY obvious that I was being subjected to a Karl Rove-style Push-Poll that was designed to destroy confidence in one candidate for county-wide office, and to boost the prospects of another candidate.

i have been called many times by pollsters, political and otherwise, and when they inform me from where they are calling, i just say too bad, and hang up.

[saltine]

I have. It was ai robovoice. I didn't participate.

[Drewjdeg]

I've never answered and likely never will.

My housemate got a few calls during the primaries, from various Republicans. She hated them, but participated in a few. I offered to answer and tell them that we are both Socialists, but she never took me up on it. I guess that means she will be getting more in 2018.
