How accurate are telephone polls?
This question came in 2004 when it became obvious that many young people do not use a land line, only cell phones and thus would be missed by pollsters calling.

I was reminded on this when someone - Russert? - said that Clinton's and Obama's voters are divided by age. Younger than 50 - Obama; older than 50 - Clinton. If this is true, than telephone polls will miss many Obama supporters.
