Exit pollsters to release election report to media

"This week, the firms that produced exit polls of voters last November will tell the news organizations that paid them what, if anything, they think went wrong."

"The behind-closed-doors delivery of the report could come as soon as today. Because the report's conclusions might not be made public, the report is unlikely to appease critics who say the six media companies have moved too slowly to release information collected in the exit polls and have said too little about possible problems with those surveys.


"It's amazing to me that there's even a possibility that the report won't be released to the public," says Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia. "There was a major national controversy involving the integrity of the news organizations and of the polling firms involved."

I think it better be released to the public.

1. Damn right...

That would be funny as getting kicked in the nuts to know Dem's won the last two presidential elections but got gypped out of them.

3. Key-Raw exit poll data

In 2002, a computer meltdown left the media with no exit
poll data for national
races.

I've never heard this excuse before-
any body else?

I thought that data could always be retrieved from hard drive.
experts?

2002 -a stolen election to be added to 2000
and 2004.

The collapse of one sustaining cultural institution
enfeebles others, making it more likely that others will give
way. With each collapse, still further ruin becomes more
likely, until finally the whole enfeebled, intractable
contraption crashes.”

7. What 'national races' were there in 2002?

Aside from Pres and VP, what offices are 'national'?

9. I hate using CNN as a source

Going into the 2002 elections, President Bush campaigned
hard for voters to elect a Republican Congress and he got
his wish. Republicans expanded their majority in the House
and regained control of the Senate. While Democrats
were reeling from their congressional losses, they did
win governor's races in the key presidential battleground
states of Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin.

The 1st election after 911, it was considered
a confirmation of Patriot Act, Gitmo, justification
for War on Terror, and prelude to IraqInvasion.

The two top Democrats in Congress said Wednesday
that President Bush's popularity and the post-September
11 environment were largely responsible for the
Republicans' sweeping Election Day
victories.

10. Oh Jesus, read this from CNN on 02 exitpoll data

CNN.com is committed to bringing you full exit poll results
when available. However, Due to problems with exit polls
from Voter News Service (VNS), no exit poll data is available
for the 2002 elections.

Sounds like Acting CoJ Myers, huh

SENATOR LEVIN: Was the Defense Department contacted
by the FAA or the FBI or any other agency after the first
two hijacked aircraft crashed into the World Trade Center, prior
to the time that the Pentagon was
hit?
GENERAL MYERS: Sir, I don't know the answer to that question.
I can get that for you, for the record... That order, to the best of
my knowledge, was after the Pentagon was struck. ... I was
with Senator Cleland when this happened and went back to
the Pentagon. And they were evacuating, of course, the
Pentagon at the time. And I went into the National
Military Command Center because that's essentially my
battle station when things are happening.
SENATOR LEVIN: Was the Defense Department contacted
by the FAA or the FBI or any other agency after the first
two hijacked aircraft crashed into the World Trade Center, prior

hit?
GENERAL MYERS: Sir, I don't know the answer to that question.
I can get that for you, for the
record.
SENATOR LEVIN: Thank you. Did the Defense Department
take -- or was the Defense Department asked to take
action against any specific
aircraft?
GENERAL MYERS: Sir, we were . . .
SENATOR LEVIN: And did you take action against -- for
instance, there has been statements that the aircraft
that crashed in Pennsylvania was shot down. Those
stories
continue to exist.
