Wonder if they ever poll rural America or if the sampling is always done in urban area.
I don’t know about that. I’m right outside of NYC and have never been polled. Will be driving through IN tomorrow though on my way to Oklahoma to take the daughter to school. I’ll wave hi! Lol.
“Wonder if they ever poll rural America or if the sampling is always done in urban area.”
They do. They poll a diverse sample.
Actually, the Response Rates and Contact Rates are higher for respondents in rual areas than they are in urban areas.
The closer a household is to an urban center, the less likely they are to have a landline, the less likely someone is to be home to answer the phone.
People in rural areas are more likely to be home, more likely to have a landline and more likely to agree to a survey.
