A method that is old and wrong

How much creedence can be given to polls that rely on landline telephones only, and completely ignore cell phones?
The telephone polls do not include cellular phones. There are almost 169 million cell phones being used in America today - 168,900,019 as of Sept. 15, according to the cell phone institute in Washington.

There is no way to poll cell phone users, so it isn't done.

It does indeed taint any polling numbers that still rely upon landline telephones solely.
