Makes you wonder often about the validity of these polls. I am 63 years old. I have NEVER been called or written to participate.

No. My entire adult life was in the U.S. Army - never polled once.

Political Polls are worthless and slanted to solicit the answers they want and poll demographic areas to get the responders they want!

Yes, but don't participate. I am curious about what criteria you use to characterize The Villages as "diverse"? I think of us as the opposite.

No participation.

Totally agree with Rich42 post.

I wonder how Clinton views the polls' value?

Your chances of being polled are very low. If you read the poll results you’ll see that the number of participants is in the hundreds. Statistically, if the polling companies frame the question and select the participants randomly, that’s a very adequate number to achieve a margin of error of +/- 3%.

You have to have a landline phone, so most polls you see are meaningless.
