Exit Polling Observations

This morning, I had the opportunity to participate in the Utah College Exit Poll.  It was fun tiring.  Here are some generic observations.

• People who voted Constitution Party were more likely to admit vocally to the pollsters who they voted for.
• Constitution Party voters were also more aggressive and more likely to vocalize their opinions outside of the voting area where they were audible to other voters.
• The more conservative the participant, the more paranoid they were that the poll would not be confidential; also, the more paranoid they were in approaching the survey in general.
• The more liberal the participant, the more willing they were to participating in the survey.
• The more liberal the participant, the more friendly they were with the pollsters.
• The more conservative the participant, the more abrasive they were with the pollsters.  
• Liberal participants were less likely to react negatively to being asked to participate in the survey.
• Weber County did a really poor job at informing people which precinct they're supposed to vote at; one lady said that our polling location was the fourth place she'd tried.
