“If this is based on exit polling, i have no confidence in the data.”
At this point it has to be based on exit polling. I have never been exit polled, and based on past elections it seems to me it hasn’t been all that accurate. Who knows?
EXIT POLLING FOLKS
Calm down.
When a voter exits their polling station a pollster walks up and asks them questions from who they voted for to what issue is most important. IT IS NOT a poll of the actual vote.
Therefore the voter can lie or the pollster can manipulate the data, ie 2004.
Take it with a grain of salt
