Don't you always hear people say about the results of polls :
"I don't know who they are talking to but *I* was never polled."
Way back in the day I was actually a Nielsen "family" for a short time, but it was when I was hardly watching any television. I also don't now but there were times in my life I have. Anyway, I wasn't then and think that is why they dumped me so quickly. I did get a little money for it. It was something they approached me about with a letter and I can tell you that Nielsen families *do* exist - or did anyway.
Well, tonight I was called by Gallup to do a poll asking about the state of the economy, my feelings about Biden, Congress, abortion, race relations, crime, guns, immigration, interest rates, tax rates, inflation, employment opportunities, the environment, green energy, health care, Social Security, military spending, foreign policy, and other such topics. Since they didn't ask me for any personal information (phishing) I was fine talking to the pollster. It took 14 minutes.
So if you see the results of a Gallup poll with those sorts of questions you can know that I was one of the bozos that was polled. We do exist. Blame me.
By the way, one of the only open-ended questions I was asked (most were multiple choice) is "What do you feel is the biggest problem facing the country today?"
My answer was "Partisanship."
I am not sure if that is my best and final answer given enough time but that is what came to mind and I do think it is destroying this country. I am curious how others would have answered that question.
