I've never participated in a poll, and just like everyone else in my generation, I have a cell phone and not a land-line phone, which leaves us out of these polls and the results become dangerously biased. A substantial portion of the public opinion can be inadvertently or intentionally shaped by 'Polls'. Political pundits on national television and other opinion shapers are quick to quote any poll which helps their position. How seriously do we need to take this embarrassing situation and what would be our action plan to help to improve this method of data collection? Why are we tolerating the fact that a certain demographic, a very important one, is being completely excluded? Am I missing something here?
