I was polled!

Last night (Tuesday) I got a call at home and was asked 4 questions: approve/disapprove of Obama, and preferences in the governor, US Senate and US House races. I didn't think to ask who was doing the polling.

But it was nice to blueshift someone's poll numbers...

Except, I asked and was told it was being done "for the Repblicans."
This is a technique used by their contracted company to identify
voters they will contact election day to be sure they get out and
vote.
