    they do it by asking.......I've been polled before........"on a scale of 1-5 how likely are you to vote in the coming election"..........there is only one poll that is accurate, and that is ballot cast.......

    Exit polls are often very accurate. I guess someone can lie and claim they voted when they didn't, but why would they do that?

    trump has one week to turn that around.
    With so many early ballots already counted, it would be almost impossible to turn PA around. Although trump is encouraging people who may have voted for Biden, to go back to the polling place and change they vote to him.

    If trump loses PA, it will be almost impossible to win the election... Just saying.

    I certainly agree Trump has a better chance to win Texas than PA. However, the PA margin of error varies based on which poll you are using: the MOE varies from 2.8% to 7.8%.

    I did an exit poll for NBC. I stood outside the selected precinct and asked every 8th person and called in the results.

    The very first person was a textbook case--an older widow who told me she voted Democratic because that is what her husband always told her to do.
