We haven’t answered our phone for months......if you ain’t got a name with it......it don’t get answered and if you don’t leave a message you’re dead to us. I especially look out for the 202 area code.

Anyone who knows me calls my cell phone-if I don’t recognize the number I don’t answer either my cell phone or land line-and I’ve set my answering machine to pick up/hang up after 4 rings-no message-when I get home from work, I go over caller ID to see if I recognize a number-almost never do...

Ain’t it fun? Lying? I do the lesbian African American for Stein, if I answer a poll call, which I only did once.

I haven’t had a landline for almost ten yrs now. Plus I am on the cell phone “Do Not Call “ list which works for the most part. So good luck trying to call me pollsters!

Ditto, haven’t had a landline in 8 years. If the number doesn’t come up as one of my contacts, no answer from me. If it’s important, leave a message.

We’ve had early voting in many states for several weeks now. It is not allowed to publicly disclose exit polls until they close on Nov 8.

But trust me, exit polling is being done and the results are getting leaked to the campaigns. They know the score.

Suddenly we have Trump going to NH, ME and IA. Crooked Hillary is going to MI, WI and PA.

This schedule tells the tale. Trump is surging and the embattled Crooked Hillary campaign is in full panic mode.

This is a big part of the pollsters problem

An even bigger part of it is the conformity of thought and ideological bias among the pollsters. I have no doubt they “assume” too much and that is filtering through to bad conclusions.

Reminds me of 2008 Wall Street crash and credit default swaps. All the players lived in the same bubble, talked the same talk, and confirmed each others faulty assumptions.

Let the enemy think they don’t have to work so hard to defeat you. If Sun Tzu didn’t write something like that, he should have.

A person purporting to be a rep from the NRA called me at 8 AM
a few days ago asking me to “answer a few questions.” Naturally, I hung up immediately, but remain curious about the true identity and purpose of the caller. If any of you have any information about this, please share.

This is why I always ask “ Who are they polling?” Most people have caller ID and don’t take BS phone calls or polling calls.
