Fox News is trying to reinvent the exit poll

When covering Tuesday’s gubernatorial elections in Virginia and New Jersey, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN and the Associated Press will share the same exit poll data, as they have on every Election Day since forming a consortium called the National Election Pool in 2003.

But Fox News, a member of the pool until April, is striking out on its own and piloting a polling system that it hopes will be even more accurate. …

The project, dubbed the Fox News Voter Analysis, was born from the network’s frustration at having underestimated Donald Trump’s chance of victory until late on Election Day in 2016. CONT.
