Exit polls are not votes. They do NOT count. They are not accurate. What part of this do these freaks not understand?? A guy standing outside a polling place asking 1 of 20 people who they voted for is not how we choose our leaders.
Shows how stupid some liberals are. They need to start pushing for afirmative action for mental nitwits then maybe they could compete.
The validity of an exit poll depends a lot on where the pollster is standing. If they perform all the polling in predominantly Democrat districts, then breakdowns by gender are meaningless. Unlike pre-election polls, we typically are not given the "internals" of the poll to allow the reader to verify proper weighting.
Not only that, when I saw the exit pollers as I approached my polling place, my first reaction was "who are these people -- they look like Dems!" from 30 feet away. (Don't ask me why I had that predjudice!) So exiting they asked me to participate in the exit poll, and, I'll tell you what, when I looked down at the box the questionaires were going in & saw that this was for AP, CNN, etc., I just about blew it off. But, then, even though it was the afternoon, I thought about how I felt when I'd heard those early exit poll results and figured I'd darn well better put in my 2 cents worth. Now, how much "unconscious" (or even conscious) selection of who to ask may have been done by the exit pollers, AND, how many Repubs would be repelled by a poll done by the MSM? Huh? Huh? Huh!
Two other points: I marked "morality" as the most important issue, but I was thinking "integrity and honor", not "abortion" or anything "religious right" when I marked "morality". Also, I noticed a fascinating question: "Do you think Barack Obama would make a good President?" Sheez - does that tell you where the pollsters are coming from, or what? (And, good grief, the guy's never been more than a State Senator. Ask me again in 12 years... )
"Unless a third gender voted in Ohio, Kerry took the state."
There was a third gender, it's called a "Palast", not quite a man, but too much facial hair to be a woman.
Exactly
My wife and I had predetermined that if we were asked how we voted we would say Nader.
