| On another subject related to landlines... I wonder how the presidential campaigns are using their new polling data...if they're not getting people on their cell phones, are those polls accurate? With more peeps moving to cells only, something tells me that mostly older voters are getting polled. Just curious... |

I'm 48% sure that 81% of those with only cell phone service vote less than 65% of the time. |

Polling firms don't call cell phones, so those without landlines don't make it into the polls. Since younger people are less likely to have landlines, they will be underrepresented in polls, and if they lean a certain way politically, then the polls will be off. |
