Who do they reach at home with land lines when polling?
They reach what the pollsters have come to call a "skewed sample". People without land lines are wealthier. But it's not just the people they choose to call: it's the "push-poll" nature of the questions that pollsters ask these days that helps to reinforce media propaganda, and that's what really pisses me off. "Let's tell 'em what to think and then let's ask 'em what they think they heard and then let's broadcast THAT as news.".
