Beware of Exit polls

Just some interesting facts:

Quote:

The bottom line is that in every state we polled--Colorado, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia-- Democrats are a lot more eager to take exit polls than Republicans.

In five of the six states, a majority of Democrats say they would be Very Likely to participate in the exit polling process. At the same time, in five of the six states, fewer than 40% of Republicans would be willing to do the same.

In every state, Republicans are at least twice as likely as Democrats to say that they are not at all willing to take an exit poll.

Unaffiliated voters tend to align more closely to Republicans in all six states in both willingness and unwillingness to participate in exit polls.

Post this thread elsewhere and got this response:

I heard something today that freaked me out a bit. I live in a VERY democratic town. I walked my son to school and was talking with someone the other moms about the election. I was the lone McCain supporter or so I thought. When most of them left there was me and two others, they told me that they were not really going to vote for Obama. So I asked them why they were telling everyone that they were, what they said really hit me hard. They said that because they wanted to "fit in". I was like "WHAT"?!?!? So they both proceeded to tell me that because they did not want to be hassled so they just agreed with everyone else around them. Now these are acquaintances more then friends but I was still really sad that they felt they needed to do this.

So I guess exit polls can not be trusted either at least not in my town.

Thanks. We do watch for that. Since Roscoe isn't with us anymore our cat came back home, so that helps. He's very happy. Jeff even feeds him! I said, "Yea, you wouldn't feed Roscoe, but you will this cat." He said, "But I like the cat." :thwak

Personally I am shocked and offended that you are willing to state that we should beware of polish people when they exit the voting area.

You know, on a side note, we aren't finished with elections in Canada.
On Nov 15 we are voting in a civic election for council & mayor.

I was asked who I am voting for, and I said, "Eeny, meanie, miney......":whistle
