I've got a question on polling. I live in Calgary Centre and we are literally getting 2 polling calls a night on the land line. It's gotten to the point where I won't answer the phone. I don't believe that I am alone in this. Add that fact that I won't answer any 'unknown' callers on my cell phone ever, and one has to wonder, who are the polling companies speak to?
So the question is, with the invention of call display and call screening, are telephone polls still valid? Are telephone polls truly a random sampling?
