I would tell them Green party or Lyndon LaRouche.

Why not just tell them the truth
I’ve gotten two polling calls in the last two days. I’m guessing they think Pennsylvania is close. In tonight’s poll, I was a young black female Muslim who is disappointed in how Obama is running the economy.
I told the last pollster that I was an Independent for Romney.
It is the truth.
Sometimes these polling outfits hire regular folk at minimum wage.
If they say they can't answer you that means that their bosses might be listening in on the conversation.
If you are thoughtful and polite you just might be talking to someone who has never really talked to a true blue conservative before. Be a good example.
I think we have reached the demoralize Obama stage.
they probably know your registration but if not, state democrat voting for Romney.
Anything to bury the Obama troops with dispair and tears.
Still undecided.
Maybe I’m cynical, but I figure they’ll get the results that they want, and if you say anything else, they’ll just ignore it.
So, I obey my instincts, and just hang up on them.
Oddly enough, I’ve gotten a number of calls here in Vermont, a state which I would hardly think is in play. And campaign calls from Bernie Sanders and Mitt Romney. I just hang up on them all, I’m afraid.
My answers would get me zotted.......
My husband was polled last night (WI). He told them that he was a conservative independent who couldn’t remember whom he voted for in 2008 but that he was certain that he would vote for Romney in 2012. He did tell them his birth year.
He also got into a spat with the pollster who was a black male. The man asked wHEN my husband would vote and my husband wouldn’t tell him. Finally he said “early”. But he told the pollster that it was none of his business to ask when my husband would vote, and he explained that if my husband said that he’d vote “after work” that somebody could come in ahead of him and vote in his place.
The truth of the matter is that both of us have already voted. But, with a heavy turn out expected, it is not likely that our absentee votes will be tabulated until late in the day, or even after the polls close. That would leave our votes vulnerable to fraudsters all day long.
Upon reflection, that is a really odd question for a pollster to ask.
When you get a recording hit a wrong button to give the answer. Next time someone live comes on even Rachael form Card Holders Services I will hit one and ask the telemarketer “Do you know Jesus”
I told one poller that I was independent and voting for Romney. In truth, I’d be Tea Party if it was a formal political party. Too many Republican leaders are too far left.
Scream and hang up.
If you want to cause them maximum pain, answer the phone, say hello and when the first question comes say you refuse to cooperate. Hang up.
There is no way for them correct for bias in samples that return null information. It absolutely kills their claim of accuracy.
Either decline to participate or fall back on what your Mom and Dad should have explained to you about honesty.
This shouldn’t be a hard question.
You would be an instant hit if you would publish a list of who polled you,why they chose you, and what they asked.
I pulled the plug, they cannot reach me even if they believed in telepathy. Phone is restricted and screened.
