About those exit polls...



Bloggermann

Two conflicting scholarly studies...

One, from the University of Pennsylvania, reminds us that exit polls are used as 'audits' on the elections in places like Germany and Mexico, and suggests the actual statistical odds that the exit polling was that wrong in the battleground states were 250,000,000 to one.

The other, from a voting project managed by CalTech and MIT, says that while the incorrectness of national exit polling can't be explained by the proverbial 'margin of error,' on a state-by-state basis, it actually was within that margin.



I was one of those evil bloggers that posted the exit polls.. only 1 or 2, and I have to say that something is rotten in Denmark...

and Denmark would've voted for Kerry by the way (map)
