1500 shut-ins we had to call 190,000 times can't be wrong and must be representative.

We can just weight it! You can weight your way out of anything!

you can reweight this stuff if you assume that the people who are not responding to the calls are uncorrelated with their polling answers. but if it's correlated, then you're measuring your instrument, not the thing you're measuring. i don't know how you fix that with phone polls.

You don't. You're obliged to turn to a different metric, like election results, but that's not going to give you a reliable gauge given the small sample sets
