Poll: Will there be a significant difference between exit polls and actual results?

[Gunslinger08]

I believe that there will be a somewhat significant difference between exit polls and actual results. What do you think?

Someone dig up the polls from 2000 and 2004.

But I believe that they looked at those polls and realized that they had serious data collection errors.

Plus with Obama being black you are going to get some seriously skewed results with people afraid to admit that they didn't vote for him etc.

..you think you can get the truth frm this bunch??





This new ascending group of Americans Zogby calls the ?First Globals,? and unlike other demographic groups such as ?Generation X? or ?baby boomers,? this group is making some radical departures from traditional American ways.

As Zogby defines them, the First Globals are simply Americans between the ages 18 and 29. A broad group, but one he says shares several remarkable characteristics, according to his polls.

For starters, narcissism seems to be a major descriptor. Zogby sees First Globals as ?materialistic and self-absorbed? individuals who also ?want to look richer than they are.? Like a daytime soap opera, these young people ?obsess about relationships.?

Not surprisingly, they also tend to be more socially liberal. He notes they are ?far more likely than their elders to accept gays and lesbians.? The only anomaly to their otherwise progressive approach is on the issue of abortion, where Zogby finds that ?two out of three of them say that abortion is always or usually morally wrong.?

Did Zogby happen to mention whether or not these materialistic and self-absorbed types bother to vote?

Of course not, 18-29? Why on earth would they vote?

I wasn't concerned much about the age aspect.
