Could you select a random group of individuals up front and then bid on their collective participation in a poll (say, beyond 95%, you all get $10)? You might have to pick a few groups and bid between them.
Yes. A lot of the digital surveys you see do this. E.g. they enroll people in mechanical turk. They claim it's similar to a Nielsen group but I don't buy it. We do truly random surveys delivered in mobile ads. Can't ask nearly as many questions but I think it's one of the best ways to currently get a large truly representative sample
In the future if you are chosen to be polled, you will be stalked, harassed, and bribed until you respond.
I imagine that will be a huge boost to candidates who promise to pass laws that make aggressive polling against the law.
The problem is that some of the people in your random group won’t answer the phone at all, to negotiate with you on whether they’ll answer a survey.
