Mommabear Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 I have been putting off writing about this but it is happening more often and is not a 'coincidence' I have taken several surveys that end up being political in nature ( the political questions begin when you are halfway done) Lately they call for not just multiple choice but well thought out responses, which take considerable time. I respond diplomatically in my responses. Surveys can be about 15 minutes to complete. Once I hit submit, the message of: you don't qualify pops up.. Wasted time... but even more frustrating is that whoever created the survey is biased. I would like to know if anyone has come across this issue as well? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has happened to me as well, two or three times. Bet there is more to come. Kind of scary to think that if they don't like your answers they are not counted. Only the "liked" answers are accepted. Makes political polls totally invalid! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFriday Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 I have not run into any of those political surveys you are talking about. Usually the only survey company I get political surveys from is YouGov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like the J D Power ones that seem to want results skewed to favor the client. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those from other companies , not so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NevadaJones Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 This is why while I take surveys, I pay no attention to the results, especially political surveys. Too many are too biased. I think we've seen in the past how inaccurate political polls and such are. Manipulated to get the desired results. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jipsyjo30 Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 I've never liked the political surveys. I avoid them like the plague. They are mostly biased and if they don't like your answers you get screened out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyce65 Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 I've had the same outcome. And I've complained about this before. The only political surveys I take now are Survey Cat. I never get dq'ed from those. I've also notice this problem with university/college surveys so I exit those before I even start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njsurveyman Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 This just proves why political polls are biased. If they don't "like" your answers, they don't always include that data in the results. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
