2008 Presidential Election Internet Performance Index - August 23rd Results
I found this little item interesting. This could be like a poll since so many people are not home when the calls come and many do not have landlines anymore. So, I would think they would look for new ways of seeing the support for candidates. this by no means is a poll like they have now but, they have to look for new avenues. Alot of people don't have the traditional phone. I have mine thru the internet. Many have cells. And, frankly, people are just not home much anymore.
So, this is an interesting concept in looking at a new way of tracking. maybe with time they will have a way to do this thru the internet like this or some other innovative way. Maybe by the next presidential primaries. who knows.
