I hate to be so cynical but I have no faith in these phone surveys anymore. Most adults I know avoid surveyors on principle. Even further, most adults I know won’t answer any number that isn’t already in their address book. It seems like the only type of person that a survey like this might reach is the stereotypical technology-fearing conservative.
That’s not to say that these results are inaccurate in any way. I just don’t believe the methodology backs up the results here.
- hammock 5y agoA truly "randomly sampled" phone survey would skew to a very old demographic, and successfully recruiting younger generations with this tactic is a notorious challenge (online works better). What they don't tell you though is that it's not truly random as claimed. They recruit a representative sample of respondents. So there are young people in the sample, it just takes more calls to get the data. Source: I run these surveys
