Reply #23: RE-exit Poll [View All]

As far as I know no one has made any suggestion to do this. In hindsight, it seems so odd, for weeks before the election, fifteen or twenty different pollsters were coming out with polls, many daily.

After the election -- none.

I would think two or three major polling groups could do 16,000 people in a couple days.

I have chosen this number of 16,000 because informed (conservative right wing) people on Mystery Pollster say that is how many it would take to get accuracy to 1%. I think anything less than 1% would not be accurate enough.

I am told it would not be unbearably expensive. I proposed this to MoveON two weeks ago and have heard nothing.

I think Zogby would be interested. He called the election for Kerry at 5pm on election day. I know he feels screwed. Unfortunately, I think he would be biased so that he shouldn't do the whole thing by himself. Harris has been good. He still has credibility. Gallup lost his credibility with the democrats but of course thatmeans he has credibility with Republicans. That is why I thought it should be a joint project.

Unfortunately, I am not getting anywhere with my idea. I guess I just don't have the right connections and the clock is ticking.
