Sorry to keep referencing the upcoming US election (I generally try to keep politics out of proceedings here) but I thought this article that explores the connection between telephone usage preferences and voting intentions was worth a mention.
In a nutshell it seems Republican voters are more likely to use landlines, while Democrat voters tend to use mobile, or cell, phones more.
What’s interesting is the way age factors into the findings though, the data used in the study was taken only from people 30 or under.
But along the way, the Pew people found something different, and really fascinating: Young people who use landlines are more likely to be Republican than young people who use mobile phones. They discovered this when they pooled all the under-30s who been polled via landline and compared them to the under-30s who’d been reached on their mobiles.
