Please, never, ever use exit polls to characterize turnout. They are built on the pollster's assumption of turnout. In 6 of 6 states with full vote history the youth vote surged by more than the state average. And in all 6 states the exit polls misgauged turnout by age.https://twitter.com/newrepublic/status/1331619391767719936 …
If they wanted to tell the real story here, it seems clear that both the youth (<30) and senior (>65) vote surged, while middle-aged voters accounted for a smaller share of the electorate, not keeping up with the Boomer/Zoomers (credit to @dellavolpe for the catchy name).
Take Georgia - voters under the age of 30 increased their total turnout by 30% over 2016, while voters over the age of 65 surged by 24%. Both were well above the statewide surge of 15%, but the youth surge was bigger.
Also the article is just wrong. Uses wrong numbers from Exit Poll...https://twitter.com/benwessel/status/1331633158295437313?s=21 …
Yikes. This is one of those pieces that can't be corrected, it just needs to be deleted.
Tl;dr
Why do they do this?
And why not an examination of exit polls (in this case probably skewing toward older voters who tend to go to the physical poll site) vs. actual vote demographics? And then show how accurate or inaccurate exit polls are?
