Some people are tired of what they refer to as "Poll-ocks" calling them at dinnertime.

A recent Zogby Poll of 1,427 registered voters show that 57% of people hate polls, up 2% from last year.

62% of women hated polls while 52% of men despised them.

Polls were loathed by those below the poverty line more than people making more than $100,000/ year. And almost half of all people asked (48%) think that poll numbers are fabricated.

Other Poll Findings:

  • There was little difference among race, religion, or ethnic group.
  • Politicians love polls.
  • Occupations that hated polls the most include dentists and fast-food cooks.
  • People who hated the polls the most referred to pollsters as, "Poll-ocks."

When asked about the latest poll results, 79% of pollsters declined to comment.

The funny story above is a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious.
