[Logic n' Reason]

In the early 2000’s, it was assumed only kids didn’t have landlines. These days, a lot of people have let go of their landlines for budget reasons.
I wouldn’t bet the farm on retreaded theories from 10 yrs ago.

What I can't understand is why the "reputable" pollsters have not accounted for this. It really does skew their results.

Heck, I often visit "assisted living" and "old folks homes"....you should see the number of cell phones in those places. They are a real godsend to those folks...no more paying for landlines...no more begging to use "payphones" or hallway phones.

They - as one group - are delighted with cellular technology! And...they are complete "un-polled".

One has to wonder how many other "special interest" groups there are just like these fine "mature Americans"!

Makes perfect sense to me. Cell phones surely have replaced pay phones in many places.

Why pay for a landline if you don’t need one? We’ve got cell phones, skype, etc.

I am sure you are right about the polling data being skewed because of it.
