Yes, with increasing use of cell phones, especially by those who have no
other phones (disproportionately younger folks so far) polling sampling
accuracy is becoming more problematic. Maybe this will ultimately be a good
thing, since polling now drives the political process as much as reflecting
it.

Subject: Re: [CGUYS] OT:Cell phone do not call
I was listening to NPR last night and they were discussing polls and how
accurate they are as they do not call those who have only a cell phone.
They mentioned that many pollsters do not call Cell phones as they ARE NOT
ALLOWED TO USE AUTOMATIC Dialers on cell phones and it is not worth their
time or effort to manually dial cell phone numbers.
Believe me telemarketers are not going to take the time to manually dial
your cell phone number to sell you something.
It is not cost effective.

Did you get an email claiming that your cell phone is about to be
assaulted by telemarketing calls because of a new cell phone number
database? Those claims are not true. In fact, federal law prohibits
telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phones. You
may place your personal cell phone number on the National Do Not
Call Registry, but there is generally no reason to do so. For more
information, see the FTC's press release "The Truth about Cell
Phones and the Do Not Call Registry".
