7. Do you know what you are talking about?
"I'm sorry TIA, but you are incorrect. "Demographics data" is data OBSERVED, and not the data obtained by the exit poll forms themsevles. This is why it is the first to be tabulated...because you do not need to enter the data from the exit poll forms (the questionaires), which takes a lot more time to do. So it includes gender, approximate age, and race. It does not include ANY data about how people voted, why they voted, or what party they belong to. THAT is what the MOE in those early polls that you like is tied to."

Are you saying that these exit poll results are based on what pollsters guessed on gender, age, race, and religion, etc.? I need to see the reference if you have one.
