“Have You Ever Been Polled?”

All this talk about poll results got me thinking. I registered to vote 30+ years ago and since that time, I have never been polled regarding presidential elections or presidential candidates.  So, I thought I’d conduct an informal survey among friends and colleagues to see if they had ever been polled.  Many have replied, “No, never.”

Thus we are asking you, “Have you ever been polled?”  We are seeking responses beyond Nielsen polls.  Specifically, we are inquiring to see if any of you have been polled by any number of national polling organizations whose results are reported daily.

Increasingly, we are being told what the results are from polls but, never any idea who the pollsters are talking to, and, we mean profiles of “who” they are talking to, be that demographic, socio-economic or geographic descriptions or indicators.

Take a fun survey among your friends, co-workers, neighbors and family members to see if they have ever been polled.  The results may be surprising.

We’ve posted survey results from an unofficial poll conducted among colleagues and friends.  Their responses may be found on our Editorial & Opinions Page.
