Have you ever been asked to participate in a political poll? Do you know of anyone who has?

once. but it was so obviously a biased poll, in that they were asking very leading questions like "do you believe candidate X wants to destroy America and that candidate Y will protect the country?"... along those lines.

My sarcasm kicked in immediately and while it was 100% obvious what answer they wanted, I just gave them the exact opposite. The person calling was getting very frustrated and would even ask me follow ups like "really? you want candidate X to destroy the country?".

I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
