What is an Exit Poll?
Exit polls serve as a tool for survey agencies to forecast election outcomes. They gather information from voters after they leave polling stations, aiming to ascertain the favored candidate. Unlike pre-election opinion polls, exit polls collect post-voting preferences, attempting to predict the electoral outcome.
How reliable are Exit Polls?
Exit polls have a history marked by occasional inaccuracy. Discrepancies in voter responses, differences between agencies, or respondents providing false information contribute to potential inaccuracies. However, sometimes these polls align with the actual election results, providing a glimpse into possible outcomes. Despite this, the anticipated results might vary from the projected seat tallies, introducing an element of unpredictability.
