33-35% of Americans are Republicans. Dawgs Jul 2014 #1

I wonder by how much Repubs were over sampled for those polls. LonePirate Jul 2014 #2

Probably the only people who still have telephone land lines. Xipe Totec Jul 2014 #16

Pollsters reach me on my cell once every six months or so LonePirate Jul 2014 #45

So telephone polls are totally inaccurate. I have a land line, but I don't answer the phone valerief Jul 2014 #51

No, because that information is false. former9thward Jul 2014 #65

You said telephone polls were inaccurate. former9thward Jul 2014 #70

No, telephone polls are inaccurate, because most people don't answer them. valerief Jul 2014 #72

ah ok steve2470 Jul 2014 #13

I don't always participate, and they come after me alot. MADem Jul 2014 #30

I think, in general, younger voters are not as interested in being polled steve2470 Jul 2014 #31

I think you're right on that score--it takes a specific issue to energize them. MADem Jul 2014 #33

very correct about the draft ! nt steve2470 Jul 2014 #34

Wouldn't a good study take that into account and weight accordingly joeglow3 Jul 2014 #69

This was their breakdown. former9thward Jul 2014 #67

Well, the right wing blogs accused them of weighting MADem Jul 2014 #86

I have not found that to be true in real life. former9thward Jul 2014 #87

I'm just repeating some of the trash the wingnuts put out. It's not my theory. MADem Jul 2014 #88
