Exit poll

 The exit poll for this year was disappointing. The only two questions it asked on actual issues were about abortion and Israel, along with a question on how you feel about your personal finances. The rest of the questions just don't tell me much.

If I were to design the exit poll here are the questions I would ask:

Demographics

• What is your gender?
• What is your race?
• How old are you?
• What is your highest level of education?
• What is your income?
• Are you married?
• Do you have children?
• Are you LGBT? If yes, how so?
• Have you ever served in the military?
• What is your career?
• What state do you live in?
  

Party, ideology, and affiliation

• What party do you identify with?
• Are you a liberal, moderate, conservative, or a socialist?
• Are you a member of a union?
• What is your religion?
• Are you a born-again or evangelical christian if you identify as a Christian?
• Where do you primarily get your news?

Issues and knowledge

• Name your three most important issues.
• Should America assist Ukraine/Israel more/less/about the same?
• Should America have withdrew from Afghanistan when we did and how we did?
• Should Canadians continue to be visa-exempt?
• Should citizens of the European Union be able to travel to the US for tourist reasons without any form of visa including ESTA?
• Should our border with Canada be more secure or more open?
• Should our border with Mexico be more secure or more open?
• What is your stance on abortion? Legal always, legal in most cases, illegal in most cases, or illegal?
