Newsmax ^ | Nov 7 2016 | Newsmax
One company will break with exit-polling tradition on Tuesday and release results of its surveys throughout Election Day rather than waiting until all votes have been cast in a particular state. Votecastr plans to release its first real-time projections at 8 a.m. Eastern, Politico reports. Slate and Vice News have partnered with the firm. The plan has been met with concerns that reporting on voting as it happens could affect the outcome if people who would have voted decide against it because they believe the outcome has already been determined. Some speculated that Florida Panhandle voters stayed home in 2000...

Slate ^ | 6 Nov 2016 | Josh Voorhees
This Election Day will be different—regardless of how it ends. This time, for the first time, you won’t have to wait until the polls close to find out what happened while they were open. In partnership with the data startup VoteCastr, Slate will be publishing real-time projections of which candidate is winning at any given moment of the day in seven battleground states, any of which could decide who is the next president of the United States. This, as you may have heard, is controversial. It will break a decadeslong journalistic tradition whereby media outlets obey a self-imposed embargo on...

Jerusalem Post ^ | LAHAV HARKOV
Republican nominee Donald Trump won the US presidential vote among American citizens voting from Israel, according to an iVoteIsrael exit poll taken this week, but in an election plagued with low favorability ratings for both candidates, he had a far less impressive showing than past Republicans have in Israel.

Townhall ^ | November 3, 2016 | Justin Holcomb
According to the result of an exit poll taken among absentee voters in Israel, Donald Trump would better serve the interests of the Jewish nation rather than Hillary Clinton as president. Trump received 49% of the Israeli-American vote, while Clinton got 44%, according to the poll conducted by get-out-the-vote organization iVoteIsrael and KEEVOON Global Research. The poll found a split between the two major-party candidates in New York, New Jersey, California, and Maryland. However, the swing state of Florida went to Trump outright. The total number of votes coming from Israel, 30,000, is lower than the 80,000 who turned out...

The Brexit debate has boosted appreciation of the European Union in Germany - which also helps Chancellor Angela Merkel and her ruling coalition. The Euroskeptic Alternative for Germany party lost out in the bargain.
 

With Brexit locked in, here are other EU countries that poll high to 'exit'

CNBC ^ | June 24, 2016 | Everett Rosenfeld
A majority of British voters said Thursday that the United Kingdom should leave the European Union, launching markets into turmoil as investors tried to digest what the referendum means for the U.K. and the European bloc as a whole. Although concern for the future of the EU may seem like hyperbole, nearly every member state has a political contingent in favor of leaving the union, and the successful Brexit vote may have just politically legitimized — and energized — those movements.

Tin-Hat TV | 6-23-2016 | Self
Ok, I hate to admit it, but I was just watching the Alex Jones show on FTA satellite TV. The host of the last hour said a few minutes ago that Exit Polls for the 'Brexit vote' have been banned. (All the better to steal the election and keep them in the EU.) I have no idea if this is true, and a quick internet search turned up nothing to confirm or to disprove this rumor.

Possible Errors in Exit Polls Suggest More Election Surprises Ahead

Are the exit polls, on which just about every elections analyst has relied, wrong? That's a question raised by New York Times Upshot writer Nate Cohn -- a question whose answers have serious implications for how you look at the 2016 general election. Standard analysis is that Democrats have a built-in advantage because the electorate is increasingly non-white. The exit polls say the white percentage of the electorate declined from 77 percent in 2004 to 74 percent in 2008 and 72 percent in 2012. In that year, they said, 13 percent of voters were black, 10 percent Hispanics, 3 percent...

Zero Hedge ^ | 6/12/16 | Tyler Durden
The headlines go from bad to worse for the UK and EU establishment as yet another new poll this weekend, by Opinium, shows "Brexit" leading by a remarkable 19 points (52% chose to leave the EU against 33% choosing to keep the status quo). This result comes after 2 polls Friday night showing a 10-point lead for "leave" which sparked anxiety across markets. This surge in "leave" probability comes despite an additional 1.5 million voters having registered this week (which many expected to increase "remain" support). Further anger towards EU was exposed when former cabinet minister Iain Duncan Smith warned...

Chicago Tribune ^ | 06-11-2016 | Robert Hutton
The campaign for Britain to leave the European Union took a 10 percentage-point lead in a poll published late Friday, less than two weeks before the country votes in a referendum. The pound dropped. The survey of 2,000 people by ORB for the Independent newspaper found 55 percent in favor of a so-called Brexit, up 4 points since a previous poll in April, with 45 percent for "Remain," down 4 points. It's the biggest "Leave" lead recorded by ORB in polls for the newspaper. The pound was 1.4 percent lower at $1.4256 at 7:24 p.m. in London. It's the latest...
