I have taken two telephone polls for our statewide election, one before the primary election and one after. Both times, the pollsters could not pronounce the names of several candidates. It was an embarrassment. Their ability to read from a script was even worse.
Any results garnered from these polls are dubious at best. I also believe that election results should be a surprise to the electorate. Therefore, I always lie to pollsters. I encourage everyone to lie to political pollsters.
