    They used to call landlines, which most polling outlets gave up since that will always tilt the results older/conservative.

    Not sure if that’s still their process, but with the wide gap here, i’m betting it is.

        Looks like they are still using landlines as part of their method:

        To reach those who have abandoned traditional landline telephones, Rasmussen Reports uses an online survey tool to interview randomly selected participants from a demographically diverse panel.

        They claim to offset this with various corrections, but it seems landlines are the only numbers they call.

        Very much still in use.
