Do any of you know anything about it/them?
You should be wary. Unless you want them to gather information about you to sell to others, don't bite. Your answer on the items most likely will be targeted to your age, race, political views and economic status.With your phone number, they can find out your name, address and zipcode. Then, they'll have a good picture of you to sell to advertisers.
Just my best guess, as I don't know the company. I don't even answer political surveys. I got involved with a political group about 15 years ago. They, too, did phone calls to people with targeted questions. If you answered to their liking, they knew to send you political stuff and call you to get you to vote. If you didn't answer to their liking, they didn't bother to solicit you to vote. Now, I don't answer any questions from anyone who calls me, nor do I participate in online polls.
