It seems there is some question about how "real" the exit polls were.

If the exit polls were fakes based on pre-election polling it might explain some things.

Any out there with first-hand info on the polls, please let us know!

1. Someone asked this before

and there was 1 duer who had been exit polled.

15. 13,000 OUT OF 120 MILLION = 1 OUT OF 9231

There are 60000+ DUers from Day One, many of whom are now gone.

How many do you think read your post?

If 60,000 did, we could expect around 9 to have been exit polled.

More likely, at most 1000 or so read your post.

So 1 out of 1000 is a lot.

18. It wasn't my post,

and I bet even fewer than 1000 people saw it.

4. Nope... Not I. n/t

[Lerkfish]

5. nope.

[Blue_In_AK]

6. Negative n/t

7. No

but that's not unusual. 100,000,000 people voted. I doubt they exit-polled more than 100,000 people (and probably less) - about one in one thousand.

There are, at most, 60,000 DUers (probably more like 20-30k active members, and only a few thousand who will see this post).

But even if ALL DUers saw this, the DU population is .0006% of all voters.

I read people on FreeRepublic complain all the time that "they've never been polled, so therefore polls are bullshit." It's not true. It's just a misunderstanding of the numbers involved.

I've been polled a few times. I think I read that most people are likely to be polled about once every 10 years.

11. You're right-- if no one said they had been polled that wouldn't mean much

But----- we have a winner! Someone here says they were polled! So, we can rest a little easier now.

9. No and and tons I talked to weren't and didn't either & we live in FL!

So go figure!

[orleans]

12. no in illinois

but we had paper trails and our exit polls (even tho i wasn't polled) matched our final vote tally
AND WE'RE BLUE!!

[Zenlitened]

13. Yes in Massachusetts. - n/t

[gaia_gardener]

14. No in OK, but you can't expect them to mess

with polling in that state (although they did push poll heavily).

16. I got POLED by Dick Cheney**...

Ohhhh... you said POLLED...

<LOL>

NGU.

17. nope. in West Chester Ohio at 7:45 am, there was no one

but a lone man handing out pamphlets. in the rain. NO one in my polling place, either....

19. Never been exit polled. Never done a Nielsen rating.

Notified for jury duty only once but never called to serve.

No points against me on my drivers licence.

But I did have seven voice messages reminding me to vote for John Kerry on Nov.2. Which means I am not living under a rock!!!
