Exit polls
CLEP American Government, Chapter 37
Exit polls
An exit poll samples people after they vote. It can estimate how participating groups voted and which issues they report considering. Its design must cover precincts, voting times, early and mail ballots, languages, and refusals. Exit polls are estimates, not official ballot counts, and they describe voters reached by the design rather than nonvoters or all eligible citizens.
Imagine an election-night graphic reporting that 62 percent of interviewed voters under thirty supported a candidate. The proper claim is about the exit-poll estimate for participating young voters reached and weighted by that design. It does not describe all young residents, establish youth turnout, or prove that age caused the vote.
Give every specialized poll one plain-language job: push polls seek persuasion, exit polls sample people who voted, and tracking polls estimate change through repeated measurements. Then read the source note and axes.
