The polls are done during the day .
Most of the time it is old people that are home and pick up the phone .
Here is what a typical call sounds like .
Operator - Hello would you take part in our survey
Old lady - why sure young fella, my husband died and my kids are all out of state glad you called me today I really need to talk to someone.
Operator - How do you feel about Social security benefits being cut and your medicare being slashed in half .
Old lady - What I don't want that to happen
