Yes, the television networks will be conducting exit polls today. But if you are looking for the leaked exit poll estimates that typically appear online on Election Day, you are probably out of luck at least until later tonight. More on that below. But as long as you are here, let me tell you a little bit about how exit polls are conducted, how they will be different this year, and why it is probably best to try to ignore the exit poll estimates that will inevitably leak later tonight. . . .
Go read it all; there's lots of good information in here on the mechanics of polling. Instapundit adds:
My prediction: If they're bad for the GOP they'll leak early. If they're good for the GOP, they won't. |
