Mobile voters lean Kerry in Zogby SMS poll

Polling firm Zogby International teamed up with Rock The Vote to conduct a text-message poll of voters whose primary phone is a mobile:

[The poll] found Massachusetts Senator John Kerry leading President Bush 55% to 40% among 18-29 year-old likely voters in their first joint Rock the Vote Mobile political poll, conducted exclusively on mobile phones October 27 through 30, 2004. Independent Ralph Nader received 1.6%, while 4% remain undecided in the survey of 6,039 likely voters. The poll is centered on subscribers to the Rock the Vote Mobile (RTVMO) platform, a joint initiative of Rock the Vote and Motorola Inc.

BB reader Robert Stratton says, "I find it unfathomable that the Rock The Vote Mobile portal asked about people voting for Messrs.Bush, Kerry, or Nader, but didn't include Michael Badnarik the Libertarian candidate. For the record, Mr. Badnarik happens to be on the ballot in more states than Mr. Nader. Just a caution lest we draw too much from sloppily constructed SMS polls."
