Polls are also largely land-line based although the practice is dying. Anytime you donate, signup for anything at cetera, there’s fine text that allows PACs and research companies to contact you via mobile phone or text.

So the polls are generally biased to be older, more centrist or conservatives and people with either the time or motivation (angry people, retirees).

That's why I hear, but I was getting polls by text this whole election cycle. I think 2020 too, but my memory is fuzzy.
