I was pleold on the Presidential election by PEW two nights ago. They started by offering me $10 to participate. It struck me that they they must be wildly oversampling the kind of people who would be lured by $10 to waste 10 minutes of their evening - e.g students, the poor. Most people in my demographic (upper middle class married, kids, busy with work activities etc) would NOT waste their time with their family for ten bucks unless they have a strong interest in politics (like me).
