THE 13047 NATIONAL EXIT POLL CONFIRMS THE STATE EXIT POLLS (WITHIN .06%) !
Edited on Sun Apr-24-05 10:44 PM by TruthIsAll
This analysis will show that State exit poll data (73607
respondents) posted at 12:22am, confirms the results of the
National Exit Poll (13047 respondents), also posted at
12:22am.These results were derived independently. 

Kerry won the National Exit poll with 50.84% of the vote. He
won the state exit polls, re-weighted by the number of state
voters, with 50.90%. 

Calculating the percentage based on the 13047 National Exit
Poll regional weightings was straightforward. The weighted
Kerry percentage based on the state exit polls was more
involved. The actual share of exit poll respondents for each
state needed to be determined, by re-weighting the exit poll
to the total regional vote.

For example, calculate Kerry's CT exit poll share:
1)There were N= 872 CT exit poll respondents out of 16261
total respondents in the Eastern region, or 5.363%.

2)There were 1.551 million CT votes out of the 26.854 million
who voted in the East, or 5.776%.

3) The weighting factor WF = 5.776/5.363 = 1.077

4) Kerry won KP = 58.47%, or 510 of the 872 Exit Poll
respondents.
 
5) Now calculate KW = Kerry's re-weighted exit poll: 

       KW = KP * N * WF
       KW = 58.474% * 872 * 1.077 = 549

Corresponding state exit poll results are calculated for all
the states and DC. The final sum (37466) is divided by the
total number of state exit poll respondents (73607)to derive
KWP, Kerry's state-weighted NATIONAL vote: 

       KWP = 50.90% = 37466/ 73607

4. I believe I have run similar numbers in the past, but never broke them
out by region - I only found the regional groups on DU yesterday.
I decided to compare the states by region vs. the same NEP category.

16. Still a little confused.
The regionals, which I think AltheCat obtained on New Year's Eve, were only based on the national poll. You have state numbers from around midnight based on the large 73,000 sample which also sampled many more polling places? So I'm not sure why it was necessary to weight against the regionals. I'm happy to see that the results of the larger sample, with the states weighted, matches the smaller one. So why did you need the regions?

20. Don't be confused.
I used the regionals because I wanted to compare the individual states, adjusted to regional weighting, to the NEP regional demographic.

Apples and Apples.

8. So there are three types of Weighting....
Edited on Mon Apr-25-05 09:11 AM by TruthIsAll
The first makes sense.
The second does, but only if...
The third makes no sense.


1- Weighting the exit poll sample to proportionately match the NUMBER of voters.

This makes sense.

For example, there were 872 CT respondents (of the 16261 total regional respondents, or 5.363%).

There were 1.551 million CT votes out of the 26.854 million who voted in the East, or 5.776%.

The weighting factor WF = 5.776/5.363 = 1.077

Kerry won CT Exit Poll with 58.47% (510 of the 872 Exit Poll
respondents).

Kerry's re-weighted exit poll percentage is:
KW = KP * N * WF
KW = 58.474% * 872 * 1.077 = 549


2- Weighting to match the voter DEMOGRAPHICS (Male/Female = 46/54).

This makes sense, IF the weightings TRULY reflect reality.

For example, we know that it was IMPOSSIBLE for 43% of 2004 voters to have voted for Bush in 2000. The MAXIMUM weight possible was 39%.
So in this case the weighting made no sense.


3- Weighting to match th recorded vote (adjust Kerry share of NEW voters, from 57-41 of first 13047 respondents to 54-45 for the 13660 Final).

This makes NO sense to me.

31. There was fraud, period.
The Cencus results have become the smoking gun that proves it. The question remaining is if Kerry won just barely, which is possible, or he won by a huge amount and the popular vote because there was systematic fraud and strewn about sampling bias.

9. National exit polls that showed Kerry the winner are backed up
by independent state polls.


Is that the bullet point on this? This will incorporate easily into the everyman conversation on the stolen election of 2004.

13. Isn't this analysis a comparison of the State and National exit polls?
It doesn't seem like the 2000 vote would be needed for this comparison.

15. my god
i know a little math, and a little statistics...

If previous state and national exit polling was accurate to within the margin of error, then we have election fraud. If the sample chosen has in the past been proven to be an accurate sampling, as exit polls try to be, then there has been fraud. In a sample this size its just not feasible that there were repeated exit poll mistakes. Has anyone calculated the probability that the 'actual' number would be what it is based on the exit polls? I bet it's less than one in ten thousand.

19. THE PROBABILITIES ARE....
Edited on Tue Apr-26-05 07:19 AM by TruthIsAll
In Excel:
Prob =NORMDIST(X, Mean, Stdev, Cumulative)

Stdev = sqrt(p*q/n)/1.96
p= Kerry% =.508
q =Bush% = 1-p=.492
n= number of national exit poll respondents = 13047

Stdev = sqrt(p*q/n) =.4999/sqrt(n)=.4999/114.22 =.004368

TRUE = Cumulative normal distribution function

KERRY
Prob =NORMDIST(0.4828,0.5084,0.00437,TRUE)
1 in 425,854,486


Exit: 62.157mm votes

Every way you calculate it, each new set of raw data, all say Kerry WON.

18. This is truly one of the most amazing exit poll reports I have seen.
Edited on Tue Apr-26-05 01:42 AM by MontageOfFreedom
It shows even for the skeptics like myself, how inaccurate exit poll interviews could not have accounted for this degree of fudging.

It also shows that the only plausible explanation is a system shot through with fraud, and machines which were made to malfunction.

I did not see the posts.

The naysayers are coming out in force. That means the analysis is solid. They must have been agitated and resorted to their usual personal attacks.

We'll just let the numbers speak for themselves.

23. The MoE =0.33% for 86654, but each state is separate sample..
Edited on Tue Apr-26-05 02:13 PM by TruthIsAll
MoE= 0.98/SQRT(86654) = 0.33%

For FL, MoE = .98/sqrt(2846)= 1.84%

Notice the discrepancy in the State  vs. National weights
(total regional pct)

The EAST and MIDWEST agree.

But the SOUTH was padded at the expense of the WEST.
