The problem with exit polling
In 2000, exit polls showed that Al Gore won Florida. When the counting was done, George Bush won. Last night, when we went to bed, the stories were "Exit polls show Fatah winning, but Hamas picking up seats" and yet when the counting was done, Hamas had won resoundingly!
When is the legacy media going to give up it's reliance on "exit polling"? That kind of polling is unreliable AT BEST! The more that the legacy media relies on exit polling, the more people are going to quit paying attention to the legacy media. It's really that simple.
