Pretty pathetic when you're too chicken to debate someone like Trump.

Yes...poor Trump. So misunderstood at this point. I’m sure he’d look forward to a robust but respectful debate on policy.

Pussies....A new online study finds that Republicans and independents are twice as likely as Democrats to say they would not give their true opinion in a telephone poll question about their preference for president in the 2020 election. That raises the possibility that polls understate support for President Donald Trump.

I've never been polled. Not even exit polling.

Re: 2020 General Election
Same. I have had it happen once. And there is zero possibility of me telling the truth when being asked a polling question about politics. I will go for whatever answer they are fishing for.
Just my way of sticking it back to them a bit, since they are all complete schmucks.

Re: 2020 General Election
We still had a landline in 2016. Got polled many times.

I know a few people that have been polled over the years, and I don't think any one of them told the truth.
My little brother has made it an art form answering the questions he gets asked in such a way that leaves the pollster confused or flips it around on the pollster and starts asking them questions.

Re: 2020 General Election
A lot of the pollsters were "Michael" or "Susan" from India so they are just reading the script. I do remember one that started laughing when I said I was Native Alaskan.Winterborn wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 7:33 am![]()

Re: 2020 General Election
I live in a purple state (PA) and I've never been polled, and we're still a household with a landline. I get calls from the parties every now and then (we flip flop depending on the primaries) but that's about it.

Re: 2020 General Election
I still have a landline (only because of my alarm system), amd never answer it, but always let it go to v-mail. Also have a call blocker, and pretty sure I’ve blocked a # of calls from pollsters..
Wouldn’t tell the truth if I was polled though. Think about it, if everyone lied to pollsters, we wouldn’t have polls. You’d just find out who won on election day.

Re: 2020 General Election
Can we please just stop with the thing about there being a significant effect of people who plan to vote for Trump lying to pollser?
Look, the 2016 Real Clear Politics average for the overall vote was Clinton 45.2% and and Trump 42.2% The actual result was Clinton 48.2% and Trump 46.1%. Both actuals were somewhat higher than actuals. Clinton's actual was was 3.0 percentage points higher and Trump's actual was 3.9 percentage points higher.
This thing about there being a significant effect whereby people who plan to vote for Trump are lying to pollsters is absolute nonsense.
