Ever been contacted for a national presidential poll?

[CharlesW]

Since some reference was made to skewed results on political polls and that the media results don't seem to reflect what I'm seeing on three different message boards, I thought another poll was in order.

Have any of you been contacted for a media poll regarding your vote for Obama or McCain?

I'm curious who is doing all the poll voting that is entirely contradictory to what I am seeing.
Is it you?

Not exactly a national poll but I have been contacted by the NRA asking my thoughts and of course for more money to support "the cause".

The poll is specifically about presidential political polls.
I'll edit the title to hopefully prevent future confusion.

It just occurred to me that your incorrect voting will skew the results of the poll
Is there any chance you can change it from a yes to the correct no answer?

You sleeping again Charles? I was contacted by a media organization, one could certainly argue that the organization is nationwide. Now if you meant "national" as in sponsored by the government then I misunderstood the purpose of this thread. The NRA publishes 3 separate magazines (1st Freedom magazine leans heavy into political rhetoric). Now if you're looking only for USA today polls, say so.

They contacted me regarding my vote on the upcoming election. Did you miss that? Their "cause" that I spoke of is putting a pro second amendment candidate in the White House. Saying that this would skew the result is like saying that other media organizations don't have an agenda or favorite candidate.

Who you callin' incorrect? Are you gathering your data from the posts or the poll. If it is from the poll, there is no need to change my answer. Obviously I didn't vote "not exactly" and that would make my vote technically correct. Now it's now secret that the NRA didn't contact me blindly, they called me because I'm a member. As their poll isn't random no doubt the results will be skewed. If you want to systematically exclude me from the poll just say GearHead don't vote.
