I recently read in methodology of one poll that when they make landline calls, they "ask to speak to the youngest male or female"...Why?

Just a question. There's reasoning behind each method they use. This would seem to poll heavier on younger people.

Yes, because young people answer the phone less. Pollsters still weight to match the demographics of the whole population.

But you need a reasonably sized raw response from each demographic in order for the weighting to be statistically useful.

25% another on political questions but they don't weight them for that! (AT least the ones I asked during campaign)
