Content: less than 1 in 10 Americans respond to their polling. That’s down from a response rate of 36 percent just 15 years ago. That’s not a proper sample size & this isn’t just a Pew problem. If they gave a Poll about how many Americans used the internet, and came back with the results “1 in 5”. That wouldn’t mean that one in five U.S. adults doesn’t use the internet. It would mean that of the 9 percent of U.S. adults who respond to telephone opinion surveys, one in five doesn’t use the Internet. Paul Ryberg
