I've gotten tired of the calls I receive. Several recently have been polls, which is sort of okay. There are differences in the way polls operate. Two polls both had the voice giving the choices: if the election were held today, if you would vote for Obama, press "1", if you would vote for Romney, press "2"... But one poll allowed you to press the number at any time, while the other required you to wait until your heard all the options. Needless to say, I soon hung up on the second poll, while I completed the first one.
I wonder why the run of polls--do they exchange lists of people who are actually willing to answer polls? Probably. Market research firms run the danger of turning me off--listening to 15 minutes of questions is not fun, particularly when the pollster promised it would just take a "few minutes". People, my definition of a "few minutes" is 5, plus or minus 1.
