Do pollsters call cell phone numbers?
Or is it strictly a land-line thing? Anyone know?

1. I think it's illegal for pollsters to call cell phones...
...because the user pays for the minutes. 23.

And you never see polls post their "rate of refusal" -- in other words, how many people they try calling which do not answer or refuse to participate.

That stormtrooper doing pelvic thrusts in front of automobiles is disturbing to me. Don't ask me why.

10. No, they cannot call cell phones
My daughter applied for a job with the Badger Poll (University of Wisconsin) and confirmed that pollsters cannot call cell phones.
