Do you participate in political polls?
I have not signed up for the Do Not Call list, so I guess I deserve these calls, but I do not participate when asked. Usually, the callers will not identify the candidate or issue they support, or even where they're calling from. My guess is that they've been instructed to not provide info so as to avoid influencing the answers they get.
The main reason I do not answer is that I want to protect the privacy of my opinions. If they called, then they have my number and they obviously can use that to gather a lot of my personal info, so I don't really want to help them out. In the past, I gave some really outrageous answers just to screw up the polls, but that seems pretty immature, so I stopped. I also have been asked some really leading questions in "push polls" and that's a part of dirty politics (isn't all politics dirty??)IMO, and it turned me off to polling.
Have you had any calls this season? Do you participate? If anyone has any "insider" info on this process, I'd be interested to read about their experiences.
