Does AP do exit polling?
AP is a member of the National Election Pool, which includes the five U.S. television networks ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox and NBC. Edison Media Research/Mitofsky International has conducted exit polls for NEP since 2004. Even before the first polls have opened at 6 a.m., exit poll interviewers report for duty at randomly selected precincts. They report the results of their interviews to EMR/MI which, some time before the first of the polls close on election night, report the compiled information to NEP members. The on-site polling is supplemented by telephone surveys in selected states.
