    No. The polls do swing about 4% but it’s in a random direction in every election no matter what.

    Almost no polls use landline random digit dialing exclusively anymore. Some call cell phones, some do online surveys or in person surveys, and some do focus groups.

      Almost no polls use landline […] Some call cell phones

      Yes; that’s entirely consistent with what I said. I wasn’t even considering that some polls might be calling landlines when I made my comment.
