Disclaimer
Advances in Internet telephony have resulted in computerized interviewing systems such as TouchTonePoll.com. Automated systems dial the phone, play questions and then record answers given by the respondent touching numbers on the telephone keypad. Although our polls use scientific sampling methods, they may be more vulnerable to problems including uncontrolled selection of respondents within the household, the ability of non-voters or unlikely voters to complete the survey, and poor response rates. TouchTonePoll.com attempts to minimize these effects with pre-screening questions and rescheduling contact attempts to improve response rates, however these vulnerabilities can still exist, especially when compared to well run scientific surveys with human poll takers. Note however that TouchTonePoll.com surveys may be less skewed by "social desirability bias" that can exist in traditional polls. A social desirability bias occurs when voters give inaccurate polling responses for fear that, by stating their true preference; they will open themselves to criticism. Respondents may feel less inhibited answering by touchtone to a machine, rather than orally to a human poll taker.
