... If this is true, It is true. Factual reports provide the facts, polls provide the information regarding what people believe. then I submit that people who voted for Kerry and Edwards refused to believe any factual reports that contradicted many of their claims as well. Perhaps. As far as I know, there is no polling data on that. However, there are "little lies" and there are "big lies". IMHO, "big lies" are the ones where thousands of people die. Kerry hasn't made any of those "big lies". Pete |

m... ...polls provide the information regarding what people believe. Uh huh. Which polls are these? A well-known, well-respected polling organization. Gallup. Maybe you've heard of them? Are they compiled by the same ones compiling the exit polling data? Gallup is, I believe, one of the companies that do exit polling as well. Pete |

compiling the exit polling data? This is a prime example of the ignorance of so many people. The exit polls on election day were actually amazingly accurate. What many people like you should learn before you start spouting off is what actually happened. Results from the exit polls was leaked before the polls were complete, i.e. around 3 or 4 pm, before the polls were closed. The blogging community took the leak and ran with it. Of course those numbers are not going to be accurate since the poll is not yet finished! The polling data at the end of the day was accuate. And yes, the demographic and rationale data is just as accurate. |

Those exit polls are what are routinely released to various news outlets *during* the polling. If it were a matter of waiting until the polls closed, there'd be little value to an exit poll since the ballots would soon be counted, anyway. -- John T http://tknowlogy.com/TknoFlyer http://www.pocketgear.com/products_s...veloperid=4415 ____________________ |

![]() No, it's not "spouting off." Those exit polls are what are routinely released to various news outlets *during* the polling. Thats not true. The do not release any of the data to anyone because it would sway the remaining votes one way. If it were a matter of waiting until the polls closed, there'd be little value to an exit poll since the ballots would soon be counted, anyway. That's how it worked in the 70's and early 80's, but not today. Today the exit polls are used after the polls have closed so that they do not have to wait on all the precincts to report in which can take an hour at the least. With the exit polls, it allows them to call the state as soon as the polls close. |

What difference does it make? Just count the votes. Matt |

I heard a terrific explanation of this exit polling phenomenon at the airport today, from an old gray-head sitting in the terminal building... He said "OF COURSE the exit polls showed Kerry ahead early in the day -- all the Republicans work for a living, and couldn't vote till after 6 PM!" :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
