I have yet to understand how surveys compensate for most people ignoring unknown phone calls or texts. The ones who do answer are not representative of the total population.
I know some of people who were hit by scam surveys the last year, which are common too. Those scams scare some people away even from snail mail invites.
I think until these methods explained slowly, in small words, I am going to assume this is biased to older and more gullible , those who drift towards Trump.
When I tried to find out the process for getting on a list like that, earlier, i found out it involved at least partially cold calling.
I think the survey companies are compensating for people answering less, by using complex models they keep as trade secrets . It’s not an easy process to understand even with complete openness and transparency. And it’s impossible for an outsider to verify.

This one has a pre-cleared set of respondents who want to take polls.
Which is weird. But then math makes it good. Trust us, bro.
