Do you selectively participate in political polls based on who's running the poll?

The question was inspired by a post about a Fox "News" poll, but I'm actually curious in general as to whether who is calling influences whether they hang up or participate.

I think "Fox" and "news" in the same sentence qualifies as an oxymoron 🤔
@Convivial Yeah, I know and my first thought was who in the heck would take a poll identified from them seriously.

Then, I recalled on a local level, taking a poll from a candidate I couldn't stand, and basically attacking them on almost every issue.

@MistyCee that's kind of like peeing in your wet suit when diving... It might make you feel warm but no one notices lol

I haven't participated in a poll in a long time. I used to get periodic calls when I had a land line, but I never get calls on my cell.

I don’t take polls, nor do I put much faith in the results of them.
No, I don't. They ask for too much personal information and I don't want to be on their solicitation lists.

@BizSuitStacy That’s so that they can build an audience demographic around their polling numbers.

I don't think it matters much. I think most jump at the opportunity to be heard/seen. They want to feel like their opinion matters.

Never been asked by any pollster. But we have call screening, so we probably wouldn't pick up anyway.

I selectively vote on polls that are selectively constructed, yep. I'm there to skew the view.

I don’t even know how you get to participate in one of those.

Never been contacted by a pollster. Have you?
@eli1601 I have, and sometimes have enjoyed them.

@eli1601 Not me.

Hell No, there all lies anyways. They make them polls up for their agenda

No I don't because they want your email address and phone number usually.
