Got a call for an election survey - need to vent [View all]

I live in Wisconsin, a swingiest of swing states. Got a call from Dynata on our landline (my hubby is a dinosaur) to take a survey about the election. I said, sure. Seemed to be pretty pro-Kamala but maybe that was just the way I was answering the questions. She would mention different Democratic positions, then ask, given that, who would I be voting for. I kept answering "Kamala Harris". Then she went into long descriptions of different issues and positions Kamala has taken, and would it make me more likely, somewhat likely, less likely or much less likely to vote for Kamala. I stopped her twice and asked if we were almost done, as I had to leave, and each time she assured me we were almost done. Then she went into even more questions. Finally, I just got too irritated and told her I couldn't finish, and they were asking too many questions.

I want to participate in polling, but my goodness, I don't want to be on a call that long and answer the same questions over and over asked different ways. They would get better responses if they just asked a few questions and finished in a minute or so.

Thanks for listening
