Who is responsible for exit polls? [View all]
We should sue them for mental anguish! (joke)
But the question isn't a joke. How can exit polls be so wrong (also remember Kerry in NH). When we were approached in our Massachusetts primary, I got the distinct impression that the pollster was operating on behalf of a variety of news organizations. He was the only one there. Do they pool their resources? If so, who are "they?" And, again, how can they be so wrong? They don't have to deal with cell phones and people hanging up.
