This alone makes me doubt every poll ever. What kind of monster answers the phone and talks to a stranger about politics?
There was a time 30-40 years ago where you didn’t get robocalls and scam calls all the time. Prime Boomer years. So there is some behavior from that time/generation. Senior citizens also also the phone frequently because they are worried about missing bad news or engagement opportunities from family. There is now a 100% overlap with the groups “boomer” and “senior citizen”.
Most GenX remember this time, but are young enough to know most calls are scams or robocalls. Millennials and younger never knew a time without robocalls.

Seniors are also a lot more likely to even have the option to answer the phone. The rest of us have to work, clean house, feed kids, etc
