PROOF of OUR SECRET WEAPON : Cell Phone Users Support Kerry Big Time!
This from the just released Harris survey (screw the rest of the results, this is what really matters) -

One subject of much discussion in this election is that a growing number of people have no traditional "landline" phones but have cell phones and cannot be reached by traditional telephone surveys.

Data from our online survey suggest that six percent (6%) of all likely voters now fall into this category and that they are voting strongly for John Kerry by 56 to 38 percent over President Bush.

These results suggest that telephone surveys which miss almost everyone without landlines will, even if they are accurate, slightly overestimate President Bush's vote and slightly underestimate Senator Kerry's vote.

4. Don't get too confident, that MO could well be a steamroller
I know, I've had my heart broken more times than I care to remember in the last 30+ years of doing this. Just keep working hard until the polls close.

"Pray for the dead and fight like hell for Kerry!"

2. That's about 1% of the vote more for Kerry
(56-38) x 6% = 1.1% Could be the tipping in FLA and the Election!

3. Zogby reported he was able to do a poll of cell phone users
and I think his figure was 60 % for Kerry. He mentioned the name of the company that allowed him to do the poll but I don't remember what it was.

5. First-time Voters Not Polled
New voters, who haven't voted in past elections are also unrepresented by telephone polls. Another unpolled population that is heavily leaning to Kerry.
