exit polls

[Nathan Newman]

Although also fun is the fact that only .39% of voters were Nader voters who
had not voted at all in the last election.  So Nader apparently failed to
bring hardly any new voters to the polls as promised.  Gore and Bush brought
far more new voters out according to the exit poll.

Although these numbers are pretty bizarre, since I notice that 2% of Gore
supporters claim they would have voted for Bush if only Gore and Bush had
been on the ballot.  I guess they were voting strategically to prevent a
Nader Presidency :)

Fun fact, from this link below:

% of sample who voted for Nader who,
in 1996, voted for Clinton:  .92

% who voted for Dole, Perot, 'Other,'
or did not vote:  1.42

On the question of how Nader voters would have voted in a 2-person
race, and lots of other things besides, see the MSNBC presidential
exit poll page,
