Opinion Polls

I live in a so called "swing state" (VA) and am constantly receiving calls from various companies wanting my opinion. Thank goodness for caller ID. I never answer them. I probably get 2 calls every day

Do you guys and gals in non swing states also get these calls?

And who actually gives these people their true opinion?

Makes me think that the polls you see published in the MSM can't be accurate.

Its the candidates internal polling that counts and what his public actions reveal.
MSM does DNC's cheerleading so no way it can be biased.

I get calls about 3-4 times a week. I always answer them completely and truthfully.

I live in California and have never received a polling call. Probably because I only have a land line for Internet and alarm system. I live in California and have never received a polling call. Probably because I only have a land line for Internet and alarm system. My question how can they poll correctly with so many people use cell phone only.

Good question, I have never received a call on my cell. Most younger people do not have land lines.

I have received calls on my cell. Unfortunately the no-call list doesn't apply to political crapola...

What this thread needs is an opinion poll.

No, CT is all but a guarantee for the Democratic candidate. No need to waste money on a poll here. Although I suppose registered Dems could get some primary-related calls.

Not necessarily, look at what Leiberman did...lots of redneck types and very financially interested (i.e. low tax at any cost) types

I get at least 1 a day, as much as 4 in a day. I just don't answer numbers that are not local.
