this company calls me at 10:30 at night claiming to be CBS news

Call came from New York to Kansas at 19:17 hours CST on 3-2-11. Call not answered and no message left. Caller ID said "New York    NY" I have no other comment, but posters on this and other sites advise that this is CBS News taking political polls. I don't know if there is a connection, but about 3 months ago CBS News called our house and talked to my Lovely and Gracious, and took a political poll. Actually, they were quite polite, even after they learned that the L&G is Right of Attila the ***. They asked questions that weren't leading and seemed interested in the answers, but not confruntational. Near the end, they asked, in spite of L&G's answers, did she like President Obama personally. She answered "Not really." The interviewer thanked her for her comments and advised the station and time where the results would be covered. Overall not a bad experience. We tuned in (that station is never on in our household), and they covered the results, but VERY briefly (probably 5 seconds). It is the only time I ever knew anyone who had been polled.

No name appeared in Caller ID, and they called my mobile phone but left no message.  I called back and was told that CBS News, in connection with the New York Times, was conducting a nationwide poll.
