Most political polls, like Gallup or the news organization polls, are conducted at random. The computer scans the phone book and picks every 100th name (or 1000th), but you get the idea.
Then there are various screens for age and gender so that the pollsters can get a sample that matches the population they wish to survey.
Some political organizations (both parties) do use focus groups to test campaign strategies or hone issues. These are usually run by the same types of companies which do market research. If there is that type of company if your area, sign up for surveys and focus groups. The plus on this is focus groups often get paid for their time.
News organizations frequently run on-line polls that ask political/issue questions. Try places like CNN, NBC or major newspapers.

well...first you have to be registered to vote. Most polling places are looking for objective answers from specific demographics, so by virtue of you simply "wanting" to participate in those polls, problay means they dont want your answer.
register to vote, and then if you get picked in their sample, you'll get a call.
Honestly...you already get to participate in the most important poll of all already: voting.
