Just curious--have you been polled? [View all]

Have you answered a phone call and told someone who you would vote for? Have you replied to an email and said who you would be voting for?

We have a lot of DU regulars. I would really like to know if anyone here has been polled.

Yes, I know that they take a small sampling and apply that to the entire country. I am not asking how polls work. Has anyone here been polled? I'm curious.
