Kids under 30 never answer a call from an unknown number. And there are ever less actual landlines left, let alone how few aren't just set to silent voicemail or a silent answering machine. The pollsters now try text messaging. I actually did a poll seemingly supporting Cuomo to help his target his lies better. If a survey catches me I will do it, but that is due to my own curiosity doubled by having studied the subject of Survey Sampling.
