Was there only the 4:00 exit poll?

[Amich]

Sorry I am not understanding the exit polls. Were there other exit polls through out the day? or just the one at 4:00?

Thanks for any info.

1. 2pm, 4pm, then updates called 6pm by some and then later updates

only the 4pm is widely available for free.

the "final" exit poll is not a poll - it is the exit poll with demographic data hit with voting estimates for that demographic - estimates not "completely" determined by sampling the actual voters -that at least get close to the final counted vote.

2. I believe there was one at 1PM. And a later one, around 9 I think.

But the later ones, the pollsters started "updating" by mixing in actual vote results, so they weren't true exit polls. The academics consider them corrupted.

3. check out this FAQ from the people who did the exit poll....

might shed some light, though it doesn't answer your question in detail:
