How many of you ever participated in a poll concerning wolf reintroduction??

We hear about all these polls where even the people of Idaho, Wyoming and Montana are all for the wolf reintroduction.
I personally don't know anybody that ever participated in one of these polls.
Please post weather or not you ever participated.
The question isn't if you are for or against wolves.
It is weather or not you were ever polled?
and if you were, by whom?

I was never polled.

Not me.

As a matter of pure self interest, I am against increasing populations of wolves or cougars because of the adverse affect they have on the populations of deer and elk.

500 respondents would be a fairly typical sample for a poll like the one you speak of. With a population of approximately 5 million in the states impacted, this would mean one in 50,000 persons would be polled. With slightly less than 7000 registered members of AR, and perhaps 5%, or 350 members from those three states, it makes it rather unlikely that anyone participating in this forum would have been part of the sample. In other words, if you are looking for a respondent among the 350 AR members from those states, your likelihood is that there will be .007 respondents.

I was left off the "poll list" too. Wonder why...the "greenies" probably already knew my answer!

Every time I see a poll result, whatever the "cause", I always wonder who they are "polling."

Next time please fill out the title so we have some idea what this is about.

Thanks

We were not polled. We were "pulled" from the pole list I'm sure. The powers that be know how we feel about wolves.

I wasn't polled and I do not know of anyone in my area who was.

You can pretty well get any answer to a poll that you want by just asking the right question in the right way. For example: Do you think wolves should be allowed to exist? Eveyone who doesn't believe in extinction will always say "yes."

Ive come to believe that those with the power to enact such programs really arent interested in public opinion even when it is overwhelmingly opposed to their agendas. Thats why political polls are a waste of time. Maybe its not that way in other places but Im convinced that it is here.

No, sure wish i had been!

They must have got their polling population from Greenpeace. Any of the calttlemen associations would have given a little different answer. My two great uncles from Montana seemed to have no particularly strong held opinions on anything accept coffee and wolves(including coyotes).
