Landline Phone Owners More Conservative Than Cell Phone Owners

Landline Phone Owners More Conservative Than Cell Phone Owners - Video Some of you have asked where I got the idea that landline phone users were more conservative than cell phone users It's from a 2010 Pew Study and the link to that is here: http://ift.tt/1lpoMFn From the study: "Overall, the landline sample includes more white, non-Hispanics than the cell-only group (79% vs. 61%) while minorities make up a larger share of the cell-onlys. In the cell-only group, there are far more Hispanics (17% vs. 5% in landline sample), more African Americans (14% vs. 9%) and more people of other or mixed racial backgrounds (8% vs. 5%). Six-in-ten cell-only adults are men while 40% are women; this is consistent with findings from other cell phone surveys. The gender ratio in landline samples is highly dependent on the method for selecting respondents within the household." via IFTTT http://youtu.be/mW8AemjEHeE
