Florida pollster called landlines only (Trump +2)

[molova]

A recent outlier from Florida Atlantic University used an "IVR" methodology, also known as "robocalls", which are simply phone calls made to landlines (no cellphones).
This type of poll usually underestimate support for the most liberal candidate (in this case Clinton).

When I clicked on the pollster's media release, I found no mention of its methodology.

Feel free to email FAU at [e-mail] and ask why this pollster does not post the methodology.

My bet is that they are hiding the fact that they use a crappy methodology.

I got mixed up for a second (getting senile?)--thought the issue was random dialing rather than robocalls, but it is IVR itself as you noted that's a no-no for cell phones.
