surveys on how you are voting in federal election - are they fixing it?

I have noticed over the last week on the many surveys on how I am voting at this Federal Election a pattern that I believe could be ensuring polls are being fixed. I will show you how this is being done - you are asked who you will vote for, then it goes to how did you vote in the 2022 election. I have always been consistent and in all polls I have stated I voted for the LNP as first preference.- however when I state I voted for the LNP in the 2022 election, the survey is terminated and instead of being awarded the number of points I should have I received say 300 plus I receive 2 or 4 points.
If the survey company is wanting to show the poll is favouring labor this is a good and easy way to attain this position. Most polls have around 1500 to 2000 participants. Eliminate those voting for the Liberal National Party but no doubt count us in the total number in their poll..
Has anyone else noticed this in the surveys on the Federal election..

      Of course they are. Start showing you are voting for their outsiders and you soon find you have been dumped.

        at least our elections aren't quite as china or russia obvious.. the old 95% voted in favour of the resident dictator jobbies.

          Everything is fixed, elections period. And surprisingly enough every group every candidate cheats in the election and tries to stuffed the ballot box and then the winner is. not necessarily the one who won the vote but the one who stuffed more ballads in the boxes. But really democracy still rain still democracy is still The best form of government still

            It's the same with most surveys...if they don't like your answers you get nothing for your effort.

              Maybe they just don't like the LNP...its crazy right?...whats not to love about lovely cuddly Peter Dutton?.....and his nuclear power stations..... I told them another party and I never get flung out....I think the main thing they are looking for is Swing Voters and who they are going to vote for.....I did two of them today....most people have already voted so the polls are surely a waste of time..and the adverts on TV too...EVERYBODY who can afford advertising...is running negative advertising..notice that?...yes we may be crap but THOSE guys are even worse!!....don't vote for them...they eat babies!!...all very sad....

                I agree, they are looking for swinging voters..I got flung out when I put Labor in.

              I think it depends on which electorate you are in. If you are in a safe blue seat and you indicate you are voting the same this time round, they don’t want you. I’m in a contentious seat in WA so they want my opinion even though I indicated LNP, both for 2025 and in 2022.

                Agreed, this happens to me too. I do believe the surveys are fixed I never get past that question re 2022.

                  They aren't fixing it. They are making it harder. Women who changed their name upon marriage had better have a copy of their marriage license because they won't have an official.decree to prove their name change.

                    Why do you have to prove you have changed your name on a survey?
