After an epic election season (I'm sure Citizen and Liberty are wanting a vacay right about now), we can look forward to a respite from "blocked" and "unknown" numbers coming in to our landlines and cell phones. Some of those calls may have been from campaign volunteers wanting you to get out the vote, a robo-caller listing off negative points about a certain candidate, or it could have been a pollster asking you who you were likely to vote for.
Previously, likely voter polls were taken mostly from land lines, but in this election, the accuracy of these polls has been argued since a vast number of Americans (myself included) use a cellular as their primary phone. This year, I was not contacted for these likely voter polls on my cell. Were you?

No, but I would have been ok with those calls, as opposed to the robot recordings.
1i got sent a text message (but it was from a friend, not a pollster)
2Yes, but I'm pretty sure it was from MoveOn. Since I'm a member, they have my cell phone number.
3Oh man, I have a landline and a cell, and I was contacted NON stop on my cell phone. Especially in this last week, and I was getting them from unknown, blocked, and local numbers. I'm relieved that I can go back to just getting nonstop calls from my mother.
4No I had enough of family and friends calling, texting and emailing me up till midnight last night.
5I was a pollster and I spoke to people on their cell phones.
6Polsters are given lists from the voter registrations rolls. If you don't want to be contacted on your cell.....get the number changed on your registration card. Thank you for voting.
7Nope, not a single one
8Nope. Thank goodness. The house phone got about 12 calls between the two campains and only 1 of those wasn't a recording. My mom jokingly threatened to tally the phone calls up and vote for the one that called less.
