I think that any poll that relies on telephone information is wildly inaccurate. Everybody uses cell phones now, and many have disconnected their ground lines altogether. Even if you still have a ground line, most people have phones with Caller ID. I don’t answer any “Caller unavalable”, “Anonymous”, or otherwise unidentifiable calls; and I don’t know anybody who does. So, we are always left out fo the polls.

If it was just a case of cell vs. land, the polls’ errors would not all be in favor of leftists. Such would be almost a statistical impossibility.

I don’t answer the phone unless I know the name AND I feel like talking to him/her.

Pollsters? Fuggedaboudit! In U.K. they’re actually blaming “shy Torys” who gave PC answers to poll callers which skewed poll results predicting a Labor victory.

Libs claim there are fewer & fewer gun owners in America. They base this on phone polls showing a majority replying “No” to questions like “Do you own guns? If yes, then how many do you own?”

Gee....hoodathunkit?
