Full 51 State Early Exit Poll Data Released For The First Time
Scoop.co.nz is delighted to be able today to publish a full set of 4pm
exit poll data for the first time on the Internet since the US
election. The data emerged this evening NZT in a post on the Democratic
Underground website under the forum name TruthIsAll. The new data
confirms what was already widely known about the swing in favour of
George Bush, but amplifies the extent of that swing. In the data which
is shown below in tabulated form, and above in graph form, we can see
that 42 of the 51 states in the union swung towards George Bush while
only nine swung towards Kerry. There has to date been no official
explanation for the discrepancy. Ordinarily in the absence of an
obvious mistabulation error, roughly the same number of states should
have swung towards each candidate. Moreover many of the states that
swung against Democratic Party hopeful John Kerry swung to an extent
that is well beyond the margin of error in exit polls. Exit polls by
their nature - they ask voters how they actually voted rather than
about their intentions - are typically considered highly accurate. [more]
