Polls that dont reveal sample size or methodology used sure are reliable.

Republikkkans are dying off. The aging white Evangelical males (and their subservient spouses) are dying off.

The country is becoming darker with growing populations of minorities, especially Latinos.

Younger voters grew up with a cell phone. They aren't beholden to landlines and in fact find them obsolete.

Younger voters are looking for someone who can lay out a vision for the future that includes them and gives them promise and hope.

As a result they are attracted to Libertarian and Democratic candidates. Republicans do not need to apply for their vote because they won't get it.

Younger voters overwhelmingly support marriage equality and other rights for LGBT individuals. Once the older generation dies off the hateful bigotry against LGBT individuals will go with it. There will still be hateful bigots in this world but they will be in the minority.

When you are so close to losing your advantages, you will yell, scratch, and claw at anyone or anything to hold on for even one more moment in your "deserved" place.

Much of what we are seeing, IMO, is the death throes of white, christian privilege. They are trying to load up the system with voter id, anti-choice, ant-women, anti-minority, anti-gay, anti-liberal, anti-you name it laws and judges. They hope to make the system so poisoned that by the time progressives can undo the mess, 20/30/50 years will have passed and they will all have finished their lives in their exclusionary bubble.

It's all about themselves, everyone else be damned.

and I prefer Obama, some of their information isn't correct.

And it's a poll which follows common sense: those people who use landlines primarily or exclusively are most likely to be older, whiter, and more rural, all groups which disproportionately skew Republican.

the cell sample is only 28% of the total, yet the landliners were only 1% more? Maybe us oldsters don't all hate Obama, even though we came from a time when people in the administrations would at least offer the opportunity to work for our own damn pony, instead of another year of unemployment. Back when we used to think college was valuable enough to pay the cost for large numbers of people so they could be productive faster. But that was in the olden days, and now we are in modern times with people who know so much more. Enjoy.

Landline folks also include those who want communications in case of disaster, since they work when cell phone towers lose power.

I would like to see a poll of age-specific people evenly divided among cell and landliners.

I looked for and didn't find the margin of error either.

Cute headlines though.

Older people have land lines. Younger people have cells. Gen X sometimes has both but favor cells.

to protect social security. The only reason my grandparents didn't end up on the street and my parents today aren't on the street is because of social security.

You are right about needing a landline in a crisis too.

I'm 48 and I use only a cell phone, so I'm not exactly a spring chicken.

first the Nutting graph and now they might actually have to poll people who gave up landlines (like we did) about 10 years ago
