Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI just got polled from the PPP.
The Public Policy Polling.They asked how I felt about the gov. shutdown,who I blamed for the shutdown and lots of questions about how I feel about the Enviromental Protection Agency and whether I support the EPA being shut down along with the rest of the government.As a lifelong democrat,I'm sure you can imagine how I answered those questions,that being said,I don't think I've been polled in more than a decade.

(39,343 posts)6. I'd loved to be polled, but I'd be tossed, as an outlier
Democrats think....Repukes think....And crazy people with too much free time think...

(22,871 posts)7. OK, now you've got me worried. How does one
get tossed as an outlier?

Sometimes it's the 1% of respondents on either end of the spectrum. I'd hope that the PPP people would report outliers.
