Thread: Exit Polls were wrong again...

i don't know where this comes from, but I was reading that more republicans go to vote after work, while democrats favor the morning.

with an obvious bias in the media, 80% for Kerry, this could be as simple as an attempt to persuade republicans to say "why bother voting if Kerry clearly has it"


.. it's a theory, and can't be substantiated at all. Either way, polls are ridiculous.

Here's my simple theory: people just aren't honest when they speak with pollsters.

a giant country-wide right-wing conspiracy?

Now now, don't put words in my mouth. A lot of people I know aren't too comfortable expressing their voting preferences, particularly Republicans. I think they're trying to distance themselves from issues like Iraq.

I was watching Fox News today and some reporter told his theory on the faulty exit polls - according to him, some people in the media got a list of exit polling locations, then flooded those polls with fake voters. The fake voters would exit the polling area and volunteer to take the exit poll, then say they voted for Kerry. It was supposedly an attempt to influence exit polls results to discourage Republican turn out.

I guess it's a left-wing conspiracy. heheh

I still think the exit polls are off because senior citizens, soccer moms, and the unemployed vote earlier than everyone else.
