I got asked to participate in a Gallup poll once. On numerous questions, my answer wasn't part of the "permitted" answers so they had to enter something only mildly related to my real opinion (and the interviewer kept badgering me to select one of the permitted answers, which was amusing). These polls are unreliable from the outset, bad poll design defeats their accuracy even with well-meaning respondents. So nowadays, I just decline to participate.
