I'm VERY VERY Confused & Don't Know What Is Going On!!

[ChiciB1]

I live in Florida and on a "no call" list, but I KNOW that doesn't include political calls.

But here's my confusion. I'm a Boomer and long time activist and NEVER ONCE, NOT EVER have I ever gotten called by a pollster. So what should I make of this. In the past TWO days, I got polled by TWO National Polls, One State Poll, and TWO local polls. And please don't ask me the name of the pollsters because the TWO National pollsters just plain TALKED TOO FAST! I think one was from Princeton in NJ, but the other I didn't catch.

Is this internal polling from the campaigns? I do know one of the locals WAS from the Christine Jennings campaign because he told me and she was the candidate who lost to Vern Buchanan last time out by 369 votes, and the county LOST over 18,000!

Anyone else getting polled like this?? Is Florida being targeted??

Florida is much desired by everyone...

7. Don't They Know We Don't Know How To Vote Down Here?? I Hear It

3. Could it be your local Dem. Headquarters from phone bank?

4. Could be your local dem and their staffs...

Sometimes the state, county, and candidate's go off the same lists but are looking for different information to classify you. If you get marked as strong dem then they treat you different then say unsure or strong GOP.

6. Well, Whatever It Is... I Gave Them My STRONG Answers & They

aren't FAVORABLE to the Repukes. There can be no fuzzing of my answers! The Princeton one didn't ask any questions about what the most important issue was for me. Just wanted to know how often I voted and how involved I was. Then of course the questions as to WHO I would vote for today and in November. And if I was very sure, sure, somewhat sure... you know! All the questions on that one was like that.

Then the last question almost all of them asked was whether I was conservative down to very liberal! I couldn't lie!

But I must be on several lists... might be because of DU!

I thought maybe they were looking "closely" at Florida, but wasn't sure if they were "internals" by each campaign. So if Princeton is Gallup, then maybe the other one was internal. Interesting getting so many. I decided to answer my phone when I see "unknown" but never thought it would be this intense.

Thanks for the input.
