6. Do you think it might be because older voters still have land lines, and younger ones cells?

the cell sample is only 28% of the total, yet the landliners were only 1% more? Maybe us oldsters don't all hate Obama, even though we came from a time when people in the administrations would at least offer the opportunity to work for our own damn pony, instead of another year of unemployment. Back when we used to think college was valuable enough to pay the cost for large numbers of people so they could be productive faster. But that was in the olden days, and now we are in modern times with people who know so much more. Enjoy.

Landline folks also include those who want communications in case of disaster, since they work when cell phone towers lose power.

I would like to see a poll of age-specific people evenly divided among cell and landliners.

I looked for and didn't find the margin of error either.

Cute headlines though.
