Texas
Related: About this forumI was polled today by NBC/WSJ on national issues.
Questions about my approval/disapproval about the Trump investigation, faith in Comey and the FBI, the Russia scandal, the ability of Congress for action and whether a special prosecutor/independent counsel should be hired.
They were probably surprised to find a liberal Texan living in a rural area. I feel so demographically important!

(2,037 posts)I haven't been polled since the 2009 Obamacare dispute. I explained the (then-novel) Tea Party to the lady on the phone, and we spent most of the call discussing that. Was a good day.

I know they need data and responses, but I've just started hanging up whenever I get one of those calls. I'm happy to know there are folks like you who will give them good responses. From an uber liberal in the foothills of Appalachia (NW GA!), I remain a comrade in arms.

(112,058 posts)since I don't have a land line. I have the main Dallas area code (214), but I'm living about 70 miles southwest of Houston now. They did ask for my zip code as they collected demographic information. Considering that I'm a 51-year-old white male, I probably deviated from what they expected when contacting me.

(86 posts)If liberal voices in a presupposed red area will skew their demographic model (i.e.: % of likely voters, & weight-% of non-imbeciles) to reflect reality.
Good work!

(5,522 posts)My wife is in home Hospice care and we get many phone calls. I won't answer any Caller IDs or answering machine messages I don't recognize. I would answer a poll if I knew it was a poll by the ID. Anyone know what the IDs for reputable polling calls are? We have put our number on the stop calling list but we still get a half dozen or more money calls a day. Once you answer, they call forever.
