That Was Fun! Just Received My Very First Rasmussen Poll Phone Call. Question Though:
Just because I participated, does that mean my answers will be counted and extrapolated into the final poll results, or do you have to meet a certain set of criteria from your answers in order to be counted?

I was excited though. I always wanted to do a real political poll from a major polling service and give my DU endorsed responses. Never realized how many questions they ask though!

Was exciting to think I may have just actually had some sort of voice though. :)

1. Just curious...what are some examples of questions, especially ones
that caused you to really ponder? I'm envious! I'd love to be polled myself!

2. That would depend on how much of an outlier your demographic is
How did you find the experience of a robo-poll?

6. It Was Cool, Just Because; Ya Know? But It Definitely Had More Questions Than I Expected.
I was also surprised they didn't have a voice command response system and only a pushbutton option. Voice would be a lot easier when answering that many questions.

7. Right Off The Bat Was How I Felt About The Job * Is Doing.
I pushed very poor of course. :)

After that it asked age group range <18,18-29 etc, whether I'm a republican, democrat, another party or independent, how I would rate my impression of John Mccain, who I would vote for between Edwards and Mccain, who I'd vote for between Obama and Mccain, whether I thought this country's best days were in the future or the past, how important do I think the healthcare problem is, should all business be required to have health insurance for all employees, do I prefer more government programs with higher taxes or less government with less taxes, am I very liberal, liberal, moderate, conservative, or very conservative, on issues of abortion am I conservative, moderate or liberal and a couple more I can't remember precisely right now.
