To poll or not to poll?

As long as there's elections they will probably be some type of polls, but I think this elections more than any other will show that polling as we know it is antiquated and is severely out of step with modern technology the posters doesn't seem to have the answer to modern communications with cellphones greatly out numbering landlines, throw in a generational gap with texting and social media being the preferred medium for millions of Americans, polls have been all over the map as posters try to find the answer overcompensating and second guessing himself contributes to Obama being up by 5 or 6 one day and Romney up by that much the next day given the appearance of a roller coaster ride may be great for ratings but gives you the voter little faith in they're reliability, personally I think it would be a lot simpler and more reliable if every concerned voter could just tweet text or email who and what they're for directly to the posters for what its worth that's my opinion.
