Anyone ever got a call from a pollster?

I got one about a week ago. Can't remember the name of the polling company but they said they were doing it for Color Of Change.

It was kinda odd because it started like a normal poll asking who I would vote for president and some other stuff. Then the person asked did I know that (spiel about why Patrick Murphy is so great and Marco Rubio sucks) and will I vote for Murphy.

Then I got a text today from "Katrina" from Color Of Change asking me if I early voted. I blocked the number.

Any stories similar to this?

never

Nah. I think you'd run into very few people who actually have. Not because they aren't calling a bunch of people. But because the country is so huge and the population so large.

I never got a call either


Do they just call Landlines.. or do they call cells too?

Polls have gotten less reliable over the years because they call people with landlines that vote in the last 5 elections..

Never got a call but for a few weeks in college I worked for a polling company. I was one of the callers.

We used to do CNN polls all the time. Those were fun.

I just got an IVR call from an unnamed number. I let the answer machine get it and the voice started asking if I voted or not, and to hit numbers that corresponded with what I did
