I would say there is an upswing in people just messing with pollsters for sport.
During the last election we got so many calls doing 'polls' that I just hung up on them if I was busy or engaged them in meaningless conversation to waste their time. At one time in my life I guess I was more responsible and would try to answer questions as honestly as I could but that has changed. Now I value my time more and my responsibility to help them to compile statistics less.
