2nd Political call of the evening (I live in Pennsylvania so we get harassed a lot)...
"Yes we're doing a survey and want to know if you think PA is going in the right direction or the wrong direction?"
> You're limiting me to just those two answers?
"Yeah."
> "Who's paying for this poll? Is it a push poll?"
"No this is an independent poll..."
> "Funded by who?"
"Public Insight"
> "That's not a public poll service I've ever heard of. You mean this is a taxpayer-funded political poll?"
...
"I dunno."
> "It's not Reuters, it's not Rasmussen, Harpers, Quinnipiac? Is this some PAC funded push poll?"

@trayofbees
I get lots of polling calls. I HAVE had casks from Rasmussen, my local major metropolitan newspaper, and other serious looking companies, but it's mostly "blah dee blah researching". I won't answer those.
Of course I wouldn't answer the newspaper anymore after they followed up with an interview and misquoted me on the front page of the paper in election coverage once.
@trayofbees You're turning the poll results into fake news! I think that's a change I could believe in.
@SecondJon I like giving countersignal in polls.
"I support Hillary Clinton because of her strong support for the Second Amendment and semi-automatic rifles"
"The most important issue for Pennsyvanians? Clearly it is the low quality fertilizer sold at Home Depot."
