Exit polls underskattar McCain

Nu börjar vallokalsundersökningarna droppa in från USA. Men kom ihåg att dessa resultat inte bara är skeva – de är systematiskt skeva till Barack Obamas fördel.

Rasmussen Reports varnade i söndags.

”The bottom line is that in every state we polled–Colorado, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia— Democrats are a lot more eager to take exit polls than Republicans.

In five of the six states, a majority of Democrats say they would be
Very Likely to participate in the exit polling process. At the same
time, in five of the six states, fewer than 40% of Republicans would be
willing to do the same.

In every state, Republicans are at least twice as likely as
Democrats to say that they are not at all willing to take an exit poll.”

Så för den som vill att valet ska vara spännande så finns det god anledning att sitta uppe länge och bita på naglarna.
