Exit polling

[Elwar]

This question needs to be posed at the exit polling in November:

"If the 2012 election for president were held today, who would you choose for president of the United States? Barack Obama or Ron Paul?"

That poll needs to be done and it needs to get on the national news.

Any poll showing Ron Paul beating Barack Obama will demonstrate to the disgruntled masses the guy they need to get behind to move forward. Especially people watching election coverage...because those are the people that will be voting in 2012.

Apparently the exit polls announced by the news agencies are done by: the National Election Pool

The National Election Pool is a consortium of ABC News, Associated Press, CBS News, CNN, Fox News and NBC News.

How many people does it take to conduct the Exit Polls and collect the vote at the Edison Research sample precincts?
For a national election, almost 3,000 people are required to do the job at Edison. This includes Exit Poll interviewers, telephone operators to take their calls at election headquarters, reporters at the sample precincts to get the vote, developers to program the computers, systems specialists, election researchers, technical support at all sites, analysts reviewing the computations, support staff to manage the Exit Polls and management of the project.
