as we are doing away with the exit polling which really didn t help anybody in 2016. exactly. it was a wonderful institution for about 50 years but in many respects, it is now outlived its usefulness. in the main reason for that is because of the number of americans who are no longer voting on election day, they are voting early, voting by absentee, by mail. a 40% of americans or more are voting that way. they never exit, they can t be pulled in an exit poll. our friends from other networks have developed some systems for addressing that. we think the right thing to do is start with a new tool for finding out why people vote the way they do. harris: what are we replacing it with? basically would hundred 25,000 interviews will be conducted by phone and over the internet, voters in all 50 states and scattered across the country. we are going to be talking to early voters, talking to election day voters and most
that was a spasm of lucidity, oprah, wait, no, can t talk bad about her. steve kornacki is a household name. did you know, joe, the number one costume this year for halloween in america? steve kornacki. the exit polling just came in. good to see you. wardrobe isn t tough. still ahead this morning, newly revealed e-mails from roger stone raising more questions about a possible connection between the 2016 trump campaign and wikileaks. the new york times michael schmidt joins us with his latest recording and daniel goldman says robert mueller is on the ballot this election, too.
because you think it is going to bring us more accuracy it. how? well, take a states like arizona, bill. close to 100% of the vote is going to be male. colorado, traditionally a battleground. that is 100% male. the exit polling traditionally does sort of a cursory 800 person sample as kind of a fail-safe. they are not really getting you the kind of detailed information about what the majority of the electorate is thinking about doing there. so america is close to voting 50% convenience voting. absentee, mail. we are trying to get a better picture of what they re doing heading into the election. bill: between north dakota and indiana, chris, i just need a quick answer on this. do you see a blue wave as of
starting saturday over multiple platforms. the goal is to make this far more extensive. there will be 85,000 interviews versus the roughly 20,000 that we use to give. it will be detailed, it will be result oriented from contested statewide elections, also allows us to better analyze subgroups and get a better understanding of election outcomes. why are we doing this, you ask? sandra: because the people wanted. bill: some of this exit polling has not been right. even at the presidential level, here is the deal. some people go, they will come outside. i don t know, do you want to do an interview? maybe you do, maybe you don t. maybe some women want to talk, maybe some men don t. maybe some republicans want to talk, maybe some democrats down. we are trying to eliminate a lot of the margin in there. and we are pretty confident in it.
go? in arizona, you have had mcsally being very aggressive in going after sinema. you know, claire mccaskill is winning in a state that has turned pretty red. joe donnelly has been tough. and braun has not been able to sort of make the attack stick. the rally for republican women, they have kind of been balancing off of donnelly a little bit. take a look at the libertarian vote in indiana. it s 5%. you ve got undecided third party vote out there. i tell you, the republicans in indiana have to hope that the libertarian vote collapses and that undecideds that break against the uncommon. we will see if it happens in indiana. bill: we are doing something different this year. we are not doing exit polling anymore. it is called voter analysis. these are kind of the bullet points.
