Polls? accurate?

Who gets called by pollsters?
People with "land lines" get called by pollsters.
Which demographic has "land lines"?
Which demographic doesn't?

To what extent does this impact polls?

LOL. We still have a land-line. However when it is a 800 number I usually answer and hang up very quickly. Sometimes I answer the phone and leave it on the kitchen counter and you can vaguely hear, "Hello? Hello? Anyone there?"

agreed!, I hang up on my land line about 80% of the time. It is a matter of days before we have it taken out.
