Received a text from a pollster asking me who I’m going to vote for, is there any good reason to respond?

    Do you enjoy the media coverage about polls? Perhaps you should give back to the community.

    Do you live in a swing state? Your preferred candidate may change their campaign strategy if they have reliable data on how they poll in your state (eg dial back campaigning where they are clearly ahead/behind in favor of where they are tied)

    In the US I’d prefer not to say unless I’ve had some evidence I’d stay anonymous. Too infected debate.

      No, who the hell does enjoy media coverage about polls? Lmao

      To the people who are already starting to type “I enjoy them!!!” comments, it is a rhetorical question to emphasize my distaste for them through the mechanism of expressing doubt that they have widespread appeal. I thoroughly understand that other people can enjoy things I don’t. Thanks.
