Voters: Beware of Exit Polls

[Longhorn85]

Everyone is excited to see how this election will turn out, but a word to the wise: wait until you read Wednesday morning's headlines before you celebrate or jump off of some building...

FAST FACTS ON EXIT POLLING

Election Experts Believe Exit Polls Give An Edge And Sway Towards Democrat Candidates.


National Exit Polls Will Skew In Favor Of Democrats This Year, Due To Large Numbers Of Uncontested Democrat Seats In The House Of Representatives.


Early Exit Polling Returns In 2004 Were Widely Inaccurate, Declaring Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) To Be The Next President Of The United States And Republicans Barely Holding A One Seat Majority In The U.S. Senate.


In The 2002 Midterm Elections, Exit Polling Produced Unusable Data.


In 2000, Exit Polling Malfunctioned And Incorrectly Projecting Vice President Al Gore As The Winner Of The Crucial Battleground State Of Florida.

You mean if exit polling favored the GOP would I have posted it? Maybe not. Funny thing is I think the exit polling helped last time. Republican voters are more organized than the dems and they can react to things that happen even on election day and get the word out to the grassroots.
