Top pollster hints exit poll looks to be quite different from pre-vote surveys

Channel 13’s veteran pollster Camil Fuchs says he believes Monday night’s exit poll “will be one of the most interesting we’ve ever had.”

He hints that the results could be quite different from those predicted by the polls before the election.

Speaking on the network as his team continues to interview people after their votes, Fuchs says: “It will be extremely interesting. We’re seeing things we hadn’t thought about.”

He notes that pollsters had not expected voter participation to go up in the third round of elections, as they so far have. “We thought people were apathetic, that people wouldn’t come out to vote.”
