Thread: Gallup Polls Rigged? You Betcha!

Late this afternoon I answered the phone. Because I have caller ID, I knew it was Gallup. I said hello and a woman with a heavy spanish accent said something, the only thing I understood was gallup polls. I politely said "excuse me" then click she hung up. I called the number listed on my phone 402-952-4444. A recording came on and said they wanted me to participate in a survey and they MAY call me back. I got gallup polls at http://www.gallup.com/ and registered. They sent me this info in an email:

If you read some of thier findings, you will bill see the bias. Maybe that comes from selective poll takers! I do plan on calling and asking a few things I am curious about. One question is "are the answers to polls recorded or does it depend on what the poll takers writes down.

YEP THEY ALWAYS HANG UP ON ME TOO WHEN THEY REALIZE I AM NOT HISPANIC. BUT MY LAST NAME IS HISPANIC FROM A FORMER MARRIAGE. THAT IS WHY THEY CALL....BUT THEY DONT WANT TO TALK TO ME ONCE THEY HEAR MY VOICE. THEY ALWAYS HANG UP. AND WHEN I TRY TO CALL THEM I GET NO ONE.
