2020 Presidential Election Results & Exit Polls commentary thread

[Fargobison]

4% decided in the last week per CNN

[Horus]

These exits look nothing short of disastrous for Biden

[ultraviolet]

Despite most things looking rosy for Biden, the doomers refuse to go down without a fight

[wbrocks67]

Miami-Dade still strong Dem on E-Day seems like a good sign. We'll see if FL Dems end up voting later on like they usually do.

[Suburbia]

Why are exit polls useless this year?

On that note, what was the result in Guam?

[Non Swing Voter]

Dont these exit polls also reach out to early voters?  They'd be meaningless otherwise when the majority of people voted early.

[wbrocks67]

GA exit poll:
Economy: Trump 50, Biden 47
Coronavirus: Biden 50, Trump 47

Seems more normal than the FL one

[Holmes]

48% says covid is handled well, wtf???

I cannot get over this number.

That number should be 0%

We handled coronavirus worse than nearly every nation on EARTH.

You do know that Americans are really annoying and think they’re the best at everything, even when it’s obviously not the case, right? So this number tracks.

[Mr. Morden]

CNN early exits:

When did you decide who to vote for?

last week 4%
before that 93%

[Penn_Quaker_Girl]

Why are exit polls useless this year?

Because it's not a standard electorate.  The demographics are all screwy. 

[libertpaulian]

Why are exit polls useless this year?

Because exit polls don't pick up on early voters.

Are you f**ing serious?

[compucomp]

If the exit poll is done only on in person voters, of course it will underestimate how bad people think the coronavirus is. The people who fear the coronavirus the most are the ones who are voting by mail!

I love that we have a doomer needle even though are no NY Times needles yet.

They do, but it's possible they may not be accounting for the large portion of early voters. Who knows what the make up is

[Roronoa D. Law]

Why are exit polls useless this year?

Large partisan divide between ED and Early. I mean Biden is well ahead among people who already voted.

Horus the Doomer now depending on cnn exit polling for doomposting oof.

I don't know what methodology they used to reach out to non-in-person voters, but it's kind of moot. If they're doing anything other than interviewing people who have just walked out of the polling place, then their results are subject to all the same variations that regular polling is. It's not that the exit polls will be meaningless, just that they'll lack the enhanced accuracy that they usually possess.

Doimers gonna doom

[afleitch]

CNN early exits:

When did you decide who to vote for?

last week 4%
before that 93%

That's the most useful exit poll result so far.

[wbrocks67]

GA electorate for the exit poll: 60% white/40% nonwhite
37% R, 35% D

[Cayahougac]

most networks have not even posted the results don't get john Kerry here we democrats were way too excited only to be dashed. same could occur to trump

[Rand]

Trump plummeting in the betting markets.

[Ferguson97]

Why are exit polls useless this year?

Because of the partisan divide between mail-in voters and Election Day voters? This isn't hard.
