As more individuals give up their landlines to go strictly cellular, the accuracy of political polls may suffer. What’s the connection? According to a Wired News article, poll services don’t call cell phones. One reason is they don’t want to risk liability for car wrecks caused by distracted poll participants. Of course, it would also be annoying to receive an unsolicited survey call that you then have to pay per-minute charges for answering.

That means surveys don’t reflect the views of citizens without landlines. And while that number may be relatively small now, the Yankee Group predicts that by 2009 up to 15 percent of adults in the US will be landline-free. Adding more noise to the results is the fact that ‘where one in seven Americans might be cut out of polls in five years due to having only cell phones… among 18- to 40-year-olds, the number could be as high as one in three or one in four.'”
