Emerson polling uses landlines 66% of the time. Link below.

1. I haven't had a landline in over 15 years

I only used it for dial-up AOL at that time

No wonder I haven't been called by pollsters

2. Probably about the same for me...

at the time, I needed a landline to order pizza. Cell phones didn't work for that, apparently, at the time.

4. I have a landline. Only answer if a message is left and it is personally related to me or my family.

5. I live in rural Central Texas and have to have a landline to get internet. I prefer

the landline to cell phone when I'm home. I like the ANI (Automatic Number Identification) feature on the landline also. The good news is that my provider is a Co-op that actually acts like a co-op (it's rare these days even for those that are co-op) and I haven't paid a phone bill in over two years because of the credits I get every year.

I seldom get scam calls on the landline - much more so on the cell phone. It is ridiculious that the FCC doesn't stop these - the do-not-call lists don't seem to work well or maybe without them it would be even worse.

6. No landline. And I don't answer calls not on my contact list.

So as far as pollsters are concerned, I don't exist.

8. Yeah me too

I guess why they like to use land lines it’s that they know we’re someone lives. I didn’t change my cell phone number when I moved to another state, and based on incoming calls I think that’s very common.

9. Same here

Had a land line in TN bc of a package deal on TV & internet. But even then, I never picked up unsolicited calls. Too many scammers.

Since moving to PA, we rely on our cell phones. Same rule applies--unless I'm expecting an out-of-contact call I won't pickup.
