Muh democracy top issue sure bub

Trump and Kamala were evenly split on the "Democracy" issue. I don't think the word means the same thing to Trump voters as it does to the people who called Trump and his supporters "fascists," "garbage," and "Nazis."

Fun fact, vector. Voters who said Democracy was a big issue for them were evenly split. The economy and immigration were the top two issues for voters and Trump won an overwhelming majority of votes from people who said those issues are important.

Can someone define what an exit poll is exactly?

In 25 years of voting, ive never seen anyone doing/taking exit polls so I am curious.

Exit polls are surveys conducted with voters immediately after they exit polling places on election day. These polls are designed to collect data about voters' choices and demographic information, as well as their attitudes toward key issues influencing the election. The primary purposes of exit polls are as follows:
Key Features and Uses of Exit Polls:

1. Understanding Voter Behavior:
   • Exit polls gather data on how different demographic groups (e.g., age, gender, ethnicity, education level) voted.
     
   • They identify patterns and trends in voting behavior.
     
2. Issue Analysis:
   • Voters are often asked about the most important issues influencing their decision, offering insight into what drove the election outcomes.
     
3. Early Indications of Results:
   • Media organizations and analysts use exit poll data to predict election results before official vote counts are complete.
     
   • These predictions are based on a representative sample of voters and adjusted as needed during the day.
     
4. Quality Control:
   • Exit polls can serve as a check on the accuracy of the official vote counts by highlighting discrepancies if they occur.
     
5. Post-Election Analysis:
   • Researchers and political analysts use exit poll data to study long-term trends in voter behavior and the impact of specific events or policies on election outcomes.
     

Methodology:

• Sampling:
  • Pollsters select a representative sample of polling stations and voters to ensure diverse geographic and demographic coverage.
    
• Questionnaires:
  • Voters are asked to complete anonymous surveys detailing their vote choice and opinions on key issues.
    
• Statistical Adjustment:
  • The data is weighted to reflect turnout and demographics more accurately.
    

Limitations:

• Nonresponse Bias:
  • Some voters may decline to participate, which can skew results if non-respondents differ significantly from participants.
    
• Early Projections:
  • Premature reliance on exit polls to call elections has occasionally led to errors, especially in close races.
    
• Margin of Error:
  • Like all surveys, exit polls have a margin of error and should be interpreted cautiously.
    

Overall, exit polls provide valuable insights into the dynamics of elections but are not infallible and must be used alongside other data for comprehensive analysis.

So in other words, just made up gibberish, because no one is doing any polling that I have ever seen.

Just because you have not been polled and have not seen any polls being done, does not mean that it is not done. Exit polling is done but the results are notoriously inaccurate. A good example is the responses to the questions about how important Democracy was to voters. Democrats mistakenly interpretted the responses as an indication that Kamala Harris was doing well on election day, when in fact Harris voters and Trump voters both said that preserving democracy was important to them in nearly equal proportions.

If a pollster ever asks me to take a survey after I vote, I will decline. Also, my phone screens my calls and pollsters will probably never reach me by phone, and if I do happen to answer, then I will decline to answer their questions. Apparently, conservatives are less likely to respond to polls and it makes polling less accurate. I prefer that conservative candidates believe that they are behind in the polls, so that they will work harder to get elected.
