young voters left out of polls

Dear Editor:

In another newspaper, columnist Jimmy Breslin pointed out today that most pollsters don’t poll those who use cellphones rather than landlines as their primary form of communication. Since this group includes most 18 to 30 year olds, it would seem that most polls are skewed toward the Republicans at this point.

It’s my fervent hope that college students and other twenty somethings know that this election depends on their participation. My generation, the Baby Boomers, is certainly going to vote, and I challenge the Gen-Xers, Gen-Wires, and Gen-Zeezers to do the same.

Sincerely,
