[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not entirely.  Some polls use up to 20 or 30% cell phone lines.  But still, considering that the majority of people use cell phones and a minority use land lines, the polling is really inaccurate for likely voters.  Many of those who answer land lines will not actually vote in the election.  Those that do vote and answer their land lines lean far more conservative than actual demographics of likely voters, so the polling data is extremely skewed.[/quote]

Anyone with a brain ignores calls from unknown numbers regardless of landline or mobile.[/quote]

Some of us can't do that.  My second job is essentially like an event organizer for a social activity.  I get paid for the work, but I often have participants who need to call a POC for various reasons and I am the person who gets listed.  These smaller organizations can't really afford to purchase a phone (some of them are still losing money post-pandemic and trying to get back to breaking even on their events), so I use my phone.  It's listed on assorted advertising and as a contact for certain types of issues.  So, I have to answer calls that are unknown because it may be a participant.

That said, autodialers are pretty easy to flag as there is the pause and/or click after you pick up as it is transferring the call to a person.  I can usually identify those and just hang up before the person picks up from the automated dialer.[/quote]
