Why exit polls lean Democrat

Exit polls suffer from a flaw in that their populations are self selecting.
When people are walking out of the polling place and they get stopped and asked to take a 10 minute survey, the type of person who agrees vs. the type of person who doesn't skews your result set.

Shouldn't be a problem this year then, nobody likes telling others who they voted for like Teump supporters.

Especially since men are usually in a hurry because they have responsibilities and women have nothing better to do than take a survey.

I think you're exactly right, because if they asked me, I'd tell them to frick off.

Exit polls are flawed but not with self selection....... exit poll is supposed to grab something like every 6th voter.....not sure how rejections handled but def not self selecting
