Polling on a cell phone would incur usage charges on the recipient of such calls - that’s a big fat No-No! I would say that what’s potentially skewing polls is caller ID.
I was just going to say caller ID; I really don’t pick up 800 long distance stuff that looks like solicitation at all anymore, and that’s a recent change. There’s no way they’d get me, and I’m probably pretty representative.
You have a point there, and the pollsters are not willing to admit that little nugget. The wife and I never answer the phones when we see any number that starts with 000, 800, 866, 877, unavailable, and ESPECIALLY the POLITICAL CALL pop up on the caller ID.
