Abstract The increased reliance on telephone surveys for pre-election polling coupled with the exclusion of cell phone users in most samples has raised questions about the impact of unit non-response on the estimation of election outcomes. This paper analyzes a variety of recent datasets that record cell phone ownership and usage to investigate their relationship to news media consumption habits, political interest and knowledge, partisanship and political ideology. The analysis will include registration status and voting behavior as well as the likelihood of voting. And cell phone use in relation to land lines will be analyzed with regard to presidential approval and support for domestic and foreign policies. While the penetration of cell phones in the U.S. population has grown rapidly, the proportion of the population that relies solely on a cell phone remains small (approximately 1 in 20). The potential consequences for the growth in cell phone users for pre-election surveys will be assessed.
