Exit Polling?

[Phishfan]

Why does it matter? And if its so trivial, why get so serious about it?

Personally it makes me question someone's genuineness to know they told a lie when they can simply decline to say anything at all. That's why.

I can respect wanting your opinion to be your own, but why feel the need to lie?

How come none of the people working at the Polls are young and Hot?  That might get me to open up a bit more...........

I saw a couple of people who would qualify as young and hot at my polling place.

If more people lied, and the pollsters were consistantly wrong, maybe they would keep those annoying pollsters out all together.

As I was Walking into Vote, I saw a table On the parking lot,and 5 people with Clip boards standing next to it,then chasing people down...to ask them how they voted....I went in to vote,Ran into a couple of Co workers,and a nieghbor...All of Us white men....We stood outside the church,where we're told to vote...No one ever approached us to ask us how we voted,we stood there for maybe 5 minutes...I tend to live in a bad neighborhood,but thought it was interesting to see them Literally chasing every black person after they vote,to see how they voted....

It made me wonder.....

Did anyone ask you how you voted after you voted?

B- Its possible that their poll was just checking how minorities voted. I have a friend who is a writer for a magazine, and they sometimes do polls expressly focusing on one group (women only, minorities only, etc)

Frimp is right.  One of your constitutional rights is the right to a secret ballot. 

Luckily, no one asked me who I voted for.  If they did, I would've told them that I will not reveal who I voted for. 

Ironically you have no "Constitutional" right to vote for even the president of the United States. The Constitution never explicitly ensures the right to vote as was ruled on by the Supreme Court during the 2000 elections.

Good point Philly,But it doesn't seem like alot of people are being asked by our poll either....My mom wasn't asked at the same polling place when the polls opened at 6 am.....

I could have sworn we already had this debate. Lets not have it again.  Go back and read that thread.

I voted in the presidential election by absentee ballot, but when I voted in the primary, I lied to the pollster, and told him that I voted for Huckabee. I would have lied today too, and told them Obama.

You are what they call a "sampling error"

This made me laugh for some reason.  It could also be considered one of the better things Frimp has been called in here!

I read an article that said if McCain wins it would be horrific for the pollsters and the media that declared Obama a shoe in.  To be honest I'm gonna be happy either way on this one..........but it would be great to see the media and those Asshole know it all Pollsters eat shit.

Or just maybe it would create outrage and paranoia in the system.

Or, maybe it would stop the media from calling elections before they are over, and attempting to influence people who might not have voted yet?
