The cellphone polling issue seems to come up every election — someone points it out — and yet it never seems to make much of a difference in the end. But yes, perhaps this is the year that those cell-only college kids actually show up and vote (ha!).This means that 17% of the American public are not reflected in polling data because Federal law prohibits autodialing devices to be used on cell phone numbers. I wonder if the data from this survey could be combined with existing polling data to give a more accurate picture of the state of the race?I wonder if the campaigns compensate for this with their internal polling.
They’re more likely to do so for Obama than for Kerry or Gore, I’d say.
