Congressional Exit Polling
I know, I haven't written as much lately as I normally do. Been a little preoccupied with some other stuff but time to get back in to the swing of things.
So, here's the deal with the Congressional exit polling. I said it was going to be really close. It appears to be pretty close too.
But lets keep something in perspective about that polling. I actually observed the pollers for about 40 minutes on the first day of voting. The polling is being done by high school students. I'm not sure what their sample is going to be like but I couldn't recognize a pattern in the time I was there.
Don't get me wrong, the Coronado students are awesome. Really bright and motivated kids. Seriously, they will impress you if you get a chance to talk with them and their instructor deserves a pat on the back for his work.
But they are teenagers. They tend to socialize with one another when they get bored. Or text or play around on Facebook. All I'm saying is that I wouldn't read too much in to the results.
Also, I haven't seen any of them at Carolina or Pavo Real. Carolina is still in the 16th District and Pavo Real is just out of the district but would likely have a lot of voters living in the 16th.
Just pointing out what I noticed.
