do pollsters have to abide by the no-call list
the way telemarketeers do? with caller-id, cell phones, and people

who just don't answer questions over the phone, are these polls just

asking dumb people their opinion?

1. No, the politicians exempted themselves from the legislation, of course.

2. I don't think so
I think non-profit entities can still call and do surveys. If they had to abide by the law it would really screw up poll results because a disproportionate number of people on that list are middle to upper-middle class.

3. No.
Nor do people with whom you have a "business relationship" i.e., credit card cos.
