Post-Election Robocall

This evening I received a robocall survey.  The caller id number was a 202 area code (DC) but at the end of the call a 305 area code was given (Miami).  The call had several questions, with instructions on what number to push to answer depending on the choices available.  This is not an exact list or an full transcription, only what I could jot down while on the phone.

Is the economy better or worse?
Did you vote?
Did you vote for Bob Casey or Tom Smith for Senate?
Did you vote for Obama or Romney?
In 2008 did you vote for Obama or John McCain?
age
gender
political affiliation
Hispanic?
racial background (white, black, other)
Are you member of a union?
Have you served as a shop steward or held elected union office?
Were you contacted by a union volunteer about the election at your workplace?
Were you contacted by a union volunteer via a knock on your door?
Were you contacted by a union volunteer via a phone call?
Did you receive union information via the mail?
Did you have a lot of direct contact from the Obama campaign (eg phone calls)?
Did you have a lot of direct contact from the Romney campaign?

The firm doing the survey is Sun Surveys, which operates out of Miami.  The firm itself does not list a political affiliation but the company president used to to work at a Democratic polling firm.
