I'm a regular yougov opinion poll filler-inner. They asked if I'd like to take part in post-debate polling, I said yes - and heard nothing.

Nobody I know has ever been asked . . . and I did ask around a lot at the last election and so far, same this year, none of them. I only asked because I wanted to know what sort of questions they were asking and how they phrased them.

A chap randomly came to door the other week asking if I'd take part in a consumer poll for TNS-BRMB. Seems he was just going up the street until he found someone who was in and willing to take part then moved a set distance to another area to find someone else to take part.

Have a look at their websites - they using have a breakdown of all the questions (by party, region etc) including the actual questions asked.

I've been called twice on the phone for polls in the last 3 weeks. As a 32 year old Marketing Manager who lives alone and has a listed home phone number I guess I look like 'Mondeo/Motorway Man'.

Never really been tempted by Fords though to be honest...
