A new poll conducted well past a reasonable hour shows that four out of five Americans do not want to be bothered on the phone and certainly don’t want to participate in our latest poll.
“Please take me off of your damn list,” said one of the few participants in our weekly ‘Hot Topics’ poll, where we cold-call people that have been working all day and beg them to answer our questions. “I don’t know how you got my number, and I don’t know why you’re calling me at 6:30 PM, but your entire industry is a dinosaur lumbering towards its demise. Why are you calling strangers and asking them how they’re voting?”
Despite the prickliness of that guy, we here at The Daily Skrape appreciate his, and a few others’, participation.
“I’m voting for Donald Trump, okay you idiot?” answered one eager poll participant. “How could that possibly matter? What are you going to do, publish one of the thousand polls that will predict a close race between now and Election Day, when a close race inevitably happens? Why don’t you go do something productive with your life?”
As of press time, ugh, I still have a lot of calls to make to get through this list.
Anybody that believes in the polls is dumber than a box of rocks!!!!!!
the pollsters say the polls are almost even – which means Trump is up by 6 pts. easy
I LOVE taking poles, I’ve been to the North, but not the South, West, or East pole . . . YET
When my phone rings, a display tells me the source of the call. “Spam Risk” appears frequently. Even though I would enjoy taking these callers apart, my wife has convinced me to allow those calls to go to the answering machine.
We almost never answer our landline phone unless we recognize the number and I reject all calls on my cell phone unless they are in my contact list.
Me a Matthew used to go down to the Long Branch an watch them Purdy wimin a swinging an thowin theys clothes all over tarnation! Then a bunch of them californy boys came in a dancin in a swilling BudLight, and commenced to do things with that there pole I ain’t never seen befor!! And I ain’t gonna go back ever agin.
Excellent post in the spirit 0f sarcasm. So many that post here don’t get it.
That twerent sarscasm! Doc said those californy folks were confused about what they are. He said sumthing about trannys, but I thought that was an automobile part.
isn’t it?
Charge em a poll tax.
Today’s dishonest pollsters conduct ‘push polls’, designed to influence not reflect opinion. Trump was on his way to expanding his lead over Shufflin Joe to double digits then Poof! Coup de tat. And we’re supposed to believe Kamala, who is dumber than Joe and even more radical, is tied or leading? If polls were honest, we would declare the election over and announce Trump as 47. How do I know? Voter enthusiasm. Remember when that was a thing?
The bastard democrats are going to get the illegal aliens to vote, and we’ll be in trouble.
Went I was in college back in the 60’s I was very interested in writing polls. The way the question is worded can sway the respondant. Most of the polls I see are writen to get the results they want.
Couple that with who they contact.
I took a pole once.. but, he turned out to be a real jerk so I divorced him.
They’re all push polls, designed to influence not reflect opinion. Are we really supposed to believe that Kamala’s approval rating, which had been 28%, has soared to 48%, and she is deadlocked or leading Trump? She is bussing in paid attendees to “rallies”, manufacturing crowds via AI, or drawing 200 people to a high school gym . . . when she bothers to leave her bunker. Trump leads by 20 points or more.
Who answers a phone call from an unknown caller with an out of state number?
