| 6. One thing I can say from my experience |
|
Neither my husband nor I have had one election call or poll call on our cell phones. But we get calls from both parties. My husband is a Republican who votes Democratic. He just can't bring himself to take the final step into the light and change parties. So we hear from EVERYBODY! But its only on our home phone.

Some are calling cells, but usually only a subset as it is $$$$$ |

Not just cells but Caller ID hinders cold calling polls greatly |
