I never got polled.
Polls have a margin of error. And for some reason, polls have always underreported republicans. Whether they aren't asked, or they intentionally lie, or they refuse to answer, I don't know. But I remember it when Jesse Ventura won the pollsters were shocked. When Bush won the first election (more states than just Florida) when the pollsters were way off. It happened here. It happened a few times in Boston when Mitt Romney was supposed to get destroyed by Ted Kennedy and he almost beat him.
Why it happens, I don't know, but it happens pretty much all the time.
