Early Exit Polls

Postby valley » November 4th, 2008, 1:15 pm

McCain will keep AZ.

To Close in: FL, IN, OH

PN: Obama +15

So says Drudge.

If these are as bad wrong as they were in 04, McCain might actually pull off an upset. He could keep Fl, In, and Oh. Win by a few votes in PN. (Remember, Bush was down by 17 in OH in 04) I still see this as a long shot, but tonight might actually prove to be interesting.

Rasmussen says exit polls always favor dems but we know the last two elections proved the exit polls incorrect.

The secret to these things are the internals, which is why good polls post a margin of error with a confidence rate, which is a bunch of mumbo jumbo that most people could care less about.

The poll we just finished conducting a few days back, which was limited to our area, showed a very close race in a rather red area. We had several problems with our poll. Including over sampling women and college educated voters (This would skew the results more toward Obama). We also under surveyed voters under the age of 35 (Skewing the results toward McCain.)

Internals matter, without this type of information, it is hard to determine exactly how reliable these polls actually are.

Exit polls are about as reliable as internet polls.

Depends on if the respondents are actually processed in a scientific manner. If you have survey takers just standing outside of random polling places without the proper distribution across the state, the results will be skewed, as in Ohio in 2004.

Voted for McCain & Palin.
Why is it that bad decisions seem to make to most interesting testimonies?

crazy they have said Obama would win VA and now it looks good for McCain but NC is not looking to good right now. He could get the best upset in a long time.
Sad thing is that the media has convinced the average that Obama has been winning everywhere so if McCain does win they will truly claim this election was stolen because the republicans are racist........
