Is online polling now more accurate than the old fashioned land line telephone poll?

To read an interesting article in the March, 2013 issue of the Atlantic Monthly entitled "A More Perfect Poll" click here.http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2013/03/a-more-perfect-poll/309219/

Here is part of what is written in the article:

"When it came to the general election, online-poll results were quite a bit more accurate, on average, than their offline competitors. When Silver compared polls in the final weeks of the presidential campaign with the outcome, Internet polls had an average error of 2.1 points, while telephone polls by live interviewers had an average error of 3.5 points. Might the polling traditionalists finally come around?"

The Brockporter polls make no claim to scientific accuracy. They merely make a snap shot of what The Brockporter readers' views are. How representative the Brockporter readers are of the general Brockport area population has not been determined.
