Learn about The Sims 2 Politics careers: Door to Door Poller, Campaign Worker, and Intern. Includes salaries, hours, and requirements.

Door to Door Poller

As a door-to-door poller, you leave your ego at the "door" - modern day Sim families aren't very welcoming to strangers bearing clipboards, regardless of their occupation.
