They can't ask me if they can't find me

They can't ask me if they can't find me

Hey, I'm a hidden factor in the polls: the wireless-only voter:

Wireless-only adults are certainly younger than other adults. But beware of concluding that all of the missing respondents are college age. In fact, less than a third (29%) of wireless-only adults are 18-24 - most are either age 25-44 (52%) and many are 45 or older (19%).

We do not have data on the political attitudes of wireless only adults, but their demographic profile suggests a Democratic skew...


In a landslide the missed sample wouldn't matter. But in a squeaker like this...
