AP US Government
Unit 4 – American Political Ideologies and Beliefs
Topic 4.5
How does the exit poll differ from opinion polls in terms of objective?
Opinion polls are conducted by government entities whereas exit polls are done by private entities.
Exit polls target non-voters; opinion surveys focus exclusively on voters.
Exit polls focus solely on presidential elections; opinion polls cover all types of elections.
Exit polls survey voters immediately after voting to project election outcomes while opinion polls assess public sentiment on various issues throughout the year.
