Just got a recorded polling phone call...I'm in Florida

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

I was asked:

Who I would vote for if the election were held today between Clinton, Trump, Johnson or Stein.

If I vote for all races or only the main ones.

Several arguments against requiring background checks were given and I was asked how convincing an argument I thought they were. There were about 3 of these arguments against passing the checks.

I was asked if I would or would not vote yes for background checks.

I didn't catch the full name of the polling organization but it was something about Mothers against gun violence or something with the polling being conducted by an organization with a few letters beginning with a C. My grandson ran out during that part and was being loud so I could not hear.

It did not ask how I am registered or if I belong to any party. I am an Independent.

I figured I would mention this since I live in a battleground state.

1. Mothers against gun violence sound like a good group

And yes, more screening-prone voters getting in to vote will mean more votes for pro-safety and anti-crime candidates. That's a good thing.

2. This is the second polling type call I got, last one was a person, though...

The first one did not give me information and was kind of rude. She asked if I am pro-life or pro-choice. I said I'm sort of in the middle. I told her I don't think anyone likes abortion and that I don't either but that I believe it needs to be legal because if it's not it can't be regulated, which would be very bad. She hung up on me, so I'm assuming she was pro-life.

3. Whatever list your name & number are on, someone's selling your info to pollsters.

They'll all have different methodologies, but it's clear your name is on a survey list. Answering or not answering surveys at this point won't reduce your chances of being called in the future now. Especially if they're calling you on a cell phone.
