Default Polls

In '04, I took a poll. This election cycle, I haven't. No one in my family has. No one I work with has taken part in a poll. Just curious to know if any one else has?

No, I have not. Thank goodness I have not been getting those stupid "robo-calls" this year, either. I should look into whether my state legislature extended the state no-call list to the political calls. I missed it if they did. Maybe the strategists just realized the recorded celerity phone calls and candidate phone calls urging us to vote build more ill will than they encourage votes.

I'm too busy and impatient to listen to the idiotic phone calls coming in. I'd probably do better if they sent it to me by snail mail

Yes, my husband always gets polled and was recently polled re: presidential election (that one may be a first, hasn't got a lot of political polls before).

I think I have taken part in 3 polls over the phone so far. I don't know why these people insist on calling us!

I'm 42 and I think I've been polled once in my life, about 10 years ago.

A couple years ago we switched to IP telephony (Vonage), and now we really don't receive any unwanted calls at all. Our number is not listed in the local phone book (I assume you have to have a land line for that).
