Have You ever been contacted by a polling agency for POTUS Vote?

Have you ever been contacted for a presidential preference poll?  I've been a voter almost 50 years....   and No. 

Just curious.  If you have...  how often?

I responded no but I do not answer calls from odd or unknown sources.

Maybe I have, maybe not, because if I do not recognize the number, I let the machine take it. Most leave no message. Yeah, I have a landline, still.
About half of the time I do a reverse number lookup from the caller ID, the number does not exist.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Two weeks ago I mistakenly answered one.  He ran thru the choice Trump. Harris. Stien.and or other.  I said I was voting for the convicted felon and hung up.

6-12 texts a day.  I block the numbers and I continue to get more.  It's ridiculous.  I'll be glad when this election is over.

Well, I have one e-mail account that gets spammed at least 15 times a day by the Harris. Walz, Emhoff, crew asking for money. Screw 'em, I don't donate to spouse/date abusers. I don't surf the web, do e-mail, or social media on my phone.

Yes but not this year. I don't generally answer unknown numbers but will sometimes answer for Selzer because they are about the only pollsters I trust.

I made the mistake of answering a poll call a couple of years ago. My phone was blown up after that.

If I don't recognize the number, I don't answer. It's either political calls, people selling Medicare Part C or people selling extended car warranties. I don't even bother to get up to answer the phone until I hear a familiar voice on the answering machine.
