The entire interview is at the link below. What I found interesting is what a Marist pollster said. Namely, to reach ONE person willing to answer poll questions, pollsters have to make 50 to 100 calls.
We don't have a landline anymore. I only answer my smartphone if I recognize the caller's number, especially if they are from out-of-state. They are invariably spam. I don't think I am atypical. It's probably truer of younger people--they never seem to have landlines. At least I don't know anybody under 40 with landline phone--and even those phones probably have caller ID. It's not like the old days of Ma Bell when if we didn't answer the call, we'd never know who called.
