He has done so and I have posted that unaltered at the end. Please address his remarks with the same civility with which he addressed this post. And ...

Exit Polls Suggest Three Close Democratic Races
2008-03-05 02:56:00 Obama got a quick call in Vermont, but there's been no such call in Ohio, nor are there expected to be in Rhode Island and Texas when those polls close in a few minutes if the exit polls are to be believed. Texas has apparently released the early voting totals on the Democratic side, which give Obama a lead of 115,000 votes out of about 860,000 cast. 7:10 MST Sean is liveblogging the results over at Race42008 and I'll echo his frustration with the glacial pace of vote counting in Ohio. Polls closed there an hour ago but they've got only 31,000 votes reported from 1% of the precincts. Meanwhile, in Texas they've got about 960,000 votes out of the first 2% of precincts. Obama's lead is down to 87,000 in Texas, while Clinton leads in the tiny sample from Ohio. No immediate call in Rhode Island or Texas. 7:20 MST I'll note that Rhode Island now leads Ohio 4% to 3% in terms of precincts reporting, despite the one hour head start granted to the Buckeye State. Texas lags with...

Death to Exit Polls

At this point, it’s very well established that these polls have a marked tendency to oversample young voters ...

US non-partisan body stopped from performing exit polls in Pakistan
2008-02-03 12:27:00 The U.S.-based International Republican Institute (IRI) has been stopped from performing exit polls on the forthcoming February 18 general elections in Pakistan. The caretaker government in Pakistan has also refused to issue new visas to the institute's two top in-country officials. According to the Chicago Tribune website, critics of the government said it has taken these actions after the IRI said in a recent survey that President Pervez Musharraf's popularity had fallen sharply. According to an IRI poll in September 2006, Musharraf had a 63 percent approval rating. But last October 11, IRI released a poll showing him at 21 percent. Thirteen days later, the first official letter arrived, telling IRI that it was not possible to register the group in Pakistan "due to administrative reasons". Another poll was released on December 13, showing that Musharraf's popularity had slightly rebounded, to 30 percent. The Pakistani government was highly ...

Why exit polls failed & Most Muslim MLAs ever in UP but not a single Congre
2007-05-13 14:11:00 The psephologists and the exit polls have once against lost credibility. Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati emerged victorious on her own. Time and again it has been proved that exist polls can't read the mind of Indian voter, who considers vote as his secret weapon and may not always disclose it to the pollster that for whom he has pressed the EVM button. A Dalit who returns from the booth after voting for BSP may claim that he voted for BJP because he doesn't want to be identified as 'Dalit' and a Muslim might say that he voted for Congress though he hasn't voted for the party in decades. It is not as easy as UK or USA where there are at the most 2-3 parties and electorate are quite frank about their choice. Here often the swing starts just a few hours before polling and entire 'biradiris' decide to vote en-bloc at the eleventh hour. And as I have humbly maintained again and again on this blog that psephologists have always been heavily biased against both SP and BS...
