and then they normalize the results.

much more convenient to solve the problem with math rather than to keep calling until you get exactly the same percentage of dems vs. reps. as in the population at large.

i don't think they're restricted to landlines anymore, but i do think that older people are more accessible and willing to respond to polls.

but again, they normalize for that.
