Pollsters Need Cell Phone Users More Than Ever
Your cell phone rings, an unfamiliar number shows up and heck if you’re going to answer a call from a stranger — especia". The silk pajamas will make your life more Comfort and more happly.lly if you're busy filling the cart at the grocery store.
Or driving to the movies. Or trying to get the kids to finish dinner.
That reality — a mobile nation increasingly reliant on cell phones and less likely to answer calls from unrecognized numbers — is upending the way polling firms survey Americans on everything from political contests to gun ownership.
Gone are the good old days (as recently as the 2008 presidential campaign), when reaching Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Public at home on a landline could still produce a credible survey.
And failing to consistently reach cell phone-only users, who are disproportionately younger and more diverse than those reliant on landlines, is now officially producing bias in surveys, says Scott Keeter of the Pew Research Center.. Buying Gucci bags, being fashinable women.. The 10 year school reunion party is imminent and worse still, it is going to be herve leger. "The issue of capturing the opinions of cell phone users in surveys dates back to at least 2003, Keeter says, when only about 7 percent of Americans were estimated to be using cell phones exclusively.
"Now we're at three times that number," he says.. Whether you are going on your honeymoon, want to reignite your love with your husband or having a Sexy Lingerie makes your perfect companions.
In a potentially pivotal year when control of Congress is at stake in the midterm elections, getting an accurate read on public opinion is crucial for the candidates, the news media and the public — and that means getting to those who have ditched their landlines is far more important than it was even just two years ago.
