Don't believe ANY reporting from any source that relies on the results of yesterday's exit polls. Every statistic within them is flawed. Example: Gender gap was Bush +7 for men and -7 for women, but turnout showed a +8 edge for women. This is statistically impossible given the now known results. If this BASIC number is so flawed, then NOTHING in the exit polls can be relied upon. Having said that, the MSM will continue to cite their flawed poll to support whatever 13th hour arguments they make regarding the "meaning" of this election and the "direction" Bush should govern in. DON'T FALL INTO THE TRAP.
They should be banned outright.
Move along now.....Nothing to see here.
The phony AP exit polls will definitely be an issue.
Exit polls are illegitimate infringements on the right to the secret ballot.
Exit polls are illegitimate infringements on the right to the secret ballot.Nonsense. No one is forcing anyone to respond to an exit poll.
You are a black conservative in a predominantly black polling place. You walk away from the ballot box, and a black exit poller accosts you and asks how you voted. Is it safe for you to tell the truth, or even to refuse to answer the question?
2) - how many black conservatives live in predominately black areas?
Not only are exit polls an infringement, but so are those union idiots who invariably crowd the polling places holding their damn signs (for the Democrat candidates, of course.
At my polling place, you get the scowling hard-hats lurking about, having been given the day off by their union bosses, holding their Kerry signs in a menacing manner as if daring you to vote for anybody else. They don't intimidate me in the slightest but I can imagine how some might be intimidated by them and have their votes influenced accordingly.
