Folks Exit Polls do not reflect early voters

[titaniumsalute]

Exit polls are only conducted on game day (today.) Therefore useless in Ohio, Fl, etc.

2. Exactly. But now you're suddenly making me wonder: do results on CNN, HuffPo, etc.

ALREADY INCLUDE early voting results?

3. For exit polls no

[codjh9]

4. Right. But I think those sites are supposedly showing actual voting results. I think they may

not include early voting, because for example, if they say they've got a # for 5% of VA, more than 5% probably already voted early. So when do the early voting numbers get added in, I wonder?

5. oh I dont know...

I think they wait until the precinct reports final totals and then it includes early voters.
