Got a poll call last month, but it wasn't about POTUS. It was more of a 'how do you think your governor is doing?' call.

I only answered because I suspected it was a poll, otherwise I wouldn't have.

the selection is drawn from may be a state or a country or some other geographic area.

Say they selected Iowa as the population which is 3.107 million and they selected 2000 people at random

If you lived in Iowa your chances of being selected are (2000/3107000)x100% or .000643708

So if you live in Iowa your not being polled don't mean jack shit

because i don't answer the phone, and the pollsters don't leave a message as to who they are, so they could be calling but i don't know it.

Two polls, one for Hillary supporters and one for Bernie supporters. Both ask if you have a cell phone, landline, or both. Anybody want to make these?
