Exit Polls are being conducted in 26 states today by Edison Research paid for by networks, AP
Edited on Tue Nov-02-10 01:45 PM by flpoljunkie
Edison Research and the NEP will be providing national exit polling results for the U.S. midterm elections. In addition, we will offer statewide exit poll coverage of key races for U.S. Senate, U.S. House and Governor. For more information, or to subscribe to Edison's exit poll data for 2010, contact Ashley Gibaldi or call (908) 707-4707.*Note: This list is subject to change depending upon late-breaking news events.

List of 26 states: http://www.edisonresearch.com/2010_national_election_coverage.php

The National Election Pool is a consortium of ABC News, Associated Press, CBS News, CNN, Fox News and NBC News. It was formed in 2003 in order to provide information on Election Night about the vote count, election analysis and election projections. NEP contracted with Edison Research to make projections and provide Exit Poll analysis. In addition, the NEP retained the Associated Press to conduct a tabulation of the vote throughout the country.

1. Yeah someone wrote all about it. Pretty much trying to solidify the
media approved narrative.

6. Oh not at all...
...they just stopped releasing un-massaged data before polls closed (and the news orgs stopped using them to predict races before enough precincts reported to validate the numbers).

3. They're not covering North Carolina?
Perhaps they feel Elaine Marshall doesn't stand a chance of winning the Senate but I hope they are wrong. I phone banked for her and voted earlier today.

Lets just cross our fingers because we do NOT need Richard Burr to hold that seat any longer.

5. How can they do exit polling in Oregon?
It's all mail-in. So is Washington except for 2 counties.
