Before this year, I've been polled via phone (or anything) maybe once, maybe twice. That's in all my years of voting (quite a few).
I just hung up from about the 5th poll in maybe 2 months tops.
I've learned that you can tell who the client is by whether they say, "If you're a Republican, press 1" or "If you're a Democrat, press 1" and, of course, which races they're discussing.
My Congressman is SERIOUSLY worried. There were questions about guns -- (paraphrased) is beefing up background checks and yadayada something else not too big a deal enough or is something more needed" (Yeah, ban on assault rifles you nincompoop).
And, "Do you want your MoC to work with Trump to pass his agenda or serve as a counter to him?" I loved that one.
Do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of Donald Trump . . . Nancy Pelosi?
Would you rather have Speaker Ryan work with Trump or would you rather Have Nancy Pelosi?
There was lots more, and if I remember them I'll add them. Naturally, political party and demogrpaphic info was included as well.
But it's REALLY clear to me my local RepubliCON is absolutely terrified. I don't think this was his first poll -- I think at least 2 of the others were his as well.
I'm just delighted.

(4,483 posts)I find myself on a Trump solicitation list, and suddenly I have at least a dozen begging letters in my mailbox. Of course I've never given them a dime, yet they insist I'm about to lose my "sustaining" membership!
