Has anyone here been polled?

No, only one leaflet from the Lib Dems and one leaflet + today, a letter from our current Conservative MP. Decided my vote way back and have not been persuaded otherwise.

I think there is confusion here about polling and canvassing - as Siope says.

Have a look at her post at 13.50.

Yes, I do know the difference, but added in about who has/has not canvassed us.
I have never been polled.

Never.

Had plenty of leaflets but no canvassers. In fact we have received several leaflets from the Conservative candidate - is she worried do you think? Our area in Kent is Tory held currently with a respectable MP but we are being moved to join another Tory stronghold - can’t say I am impressed with the current/prospective MP and word on the street is that she is not a likeable person - not that I’d vote Conservative any way!

Never, and we have been here seven years now. I think I may well vote for the first person who turns up on my doorstep. But since it is now Wednesday afternoon they will have to hurry. Sheaves of leaflets though that go straight in the bin .

Yes, several times and I have done a lot of canvassing as well.

It makes me more than a little cross to read facetious comments about 'nobody canvassing me', and 'all the leaflets going into the bin.'
Many people from all parties have volunteered to spend the past six weeks preparing and delivering information, attempting to canvass voters at home, and answer questions to the best of their ability, therefore it is very disheartening to learn that people don't even bother to read the information available, then criticise the parties for not reaching out to them.
This forthcoming election is a serious one, and I am surprised about how little some people care about major issues.
I feel apathetic should join the list of words to sum up present-day Britain.

Never - but when I did a local government qualification, it seemed polling was a fairly accurate way of assessing voting.
That was last Century, of course!

I have read all the leaflets which have been delivered to me eazybee. They have all been delivered by the postman - nobody has taken the trouble to deliver a leaflet in person therefore no canvassing. And I have received nothing from some of the candidates who are standing, only the main three parties and Reform.

Yes if you sign up for YouGov they often do polls.

I have been exit polled once, that’s all.
Plenty of leaflets through the door this time (all read except SNP because I would never, under any circumstances, vote for them). Annoyingly DH received personal leaflets from the Tories and Labour, he never corresponds with either and I do!

No but I have been asked how I am going to vote by someone official outside the polling station.
I replied by putting a tick in the appropriate box. 😬

Yes, with YouGov.

Yes, twice, once by phone and once I was stopped on the street.

Never.

Plenty of leaflets. Three from the Tories. He's the sitting MPs but we are new to his constituency. I got one in an envelope addressed to me from the Greens. I voted Green at the local election but there is no way they would have known that....or is there?

I have never been polled, but I have been canvassedin the past.

I think nowadays, most candidates do not have enough workers to do much canvassing, plus people answering the door are more likely to be threatening and abusive, which makes it a health and safety issue - and , of course, so often nobody is in.

No, never met anyone who has, but we had the Labour candidate and the current Conservative MP called at the house. She turned up in her jeans with her supporters, she was very cheerful and upbeat, far different than the person you see on TV or in the news.
I will be so surprised if our Conservative MP fails to keep her seat, she's a very controversial MP but very popular in the area.

Daily (just about) in London by Labour, Conservatives and LibDems, canvassed and/or polled. I think it's really cheeky to ask a complete stranger which party they plan to vote for! I just say "I wouldn't dream if disclosing that information" with my best smile.

if = of

We have lived in our bungalow nearly 20 years.
In all that time there has never been anyone from any political party knock on the door.
No phone calls. But this year for the first time we received one leaflet from the liberal democratics.
We live on an estate in a mid sized town.

I do hope since no other party seems to want your vote, that you will vote Liberal Democrat!

@ that would be a waste of my vote. In my area they are not strong enough.

No but I have been asked how I am going to vote by someone official outside the polling station.

It is illegal to canvas people outside a polling station. This person should have been reported.

Maybe an exit poll?

On the day, someone from one of the parties once knocked on the door and asked whether I’d voted yet, and if so, who I’d voted for.
I told them I was under the impression that in this country voting was a private matter.

Afterwards I wished I’d gaily lied instead - would have served them right! 😈
