You mail a letter with a dollar bill in it. Answer the enclosed poll and we’ll send you a five dollar bill. In the end that would not only get a bigger return, it would probably be cheaper than calling thousands of people and paying somebody to ask the questions of the .002 percent who answer.

exactly. when you have to make 27,000 calls to get 457 people to answer your poll, how representative is THAT going to be? ... your sample basically consists of people who are either too stupid to block unwanted calls and lonely people who like to talk to strangers ...

LOL. Caller ID. Unless I know who’s calling I never - and I mean never - answer. And because we have had untold number of calls in the past 3 to 6 months. Not one pollster got through to consider the four votes in my household.
