1. Isn't this article all about how good the standard (non-exit) polls were?
It seems that the gist of the article is that some
pre-election polling firms got things right with respect
to Republican vs Democratic turnout, while others
got it wrong as measured by exit polls.

The big revelation is supposed to be that
maybe robo-polling, ie, using recorded voices
rather than humans is a better technique for
doing political polls, since the robo-polling
firms supposedly did better???

Since there is still a considerable controversy
surrounding what happened with the exit polls
this year, why should anyone take such nonsense
seriously at this point, or any point?
