I have a friend who recently told me a story about being polled. They called her on the phone at her house. She pretended to be a Republican to throw off the pole. In reality she’s an ultra liberal.

Polls are naturally biased to the left, just by their nature and because of cultural issues.
The left is more likely to respond to a poll than the right. They have more dwell time in areas where polls are conducted, and are more likely to see their participation (in a poll) as somehow affecting the outcome of whatever the issue is. Plus, there's a 'feel good' factor to the polls as well, something the left is also drawn to like a bug to a bug zapper.

Childish. Accurate information benefits all.
There will be no Utopia with that kind of attitude.

Yes. I was polled once by FOX and another time by the DNC. Both were phone polls and both were goddamn ponderous in the amount of questions. I want to say they were around 20 minutes each.

I guess it would also depend on how the questions are worded.
