I studied polling in school. I don't believe it's driven by agenda at all. Bottom line: who picks up their LANDLINE when it rings? And spends time talking to some anonymous pollster? Who even has a landline at this point? Most people won't bother picking up a line now they don't recognize. And the folks that will are probably not representative of the pop at large. Not sure my kids have ever seen a landline.
