Never by phone. Never in an exit poll. I have always been registered and had a telephone. I have been contacted by fundraisers so it isn't that I'm hard to find.
Hey, maybe I am the margin for error.

(115,877 posts)and most polls sample only about 1,000 people, so the probability that any particular person would be contacted by a pollster is quite small. I've never been called, either - but then, I don't answer my phone if I don't recognize the number.

(652 posts)It was a Republican poll, calling my husband's phone. I decided to take the call, and answered everything in this skewed poll, for Biden and Democrats. This poll had been calling my husband a lot, and he thought they were telemarketers, so he didn't answer. On this day, my husband was not home, so I took a chance it would be worthwhile to find out who it was.
