Web sites will post exit-poll data
The Cincinnati Enquirer
Want to compare your views with Ohio voters surveyed in the TV networks' exit polls?
ABCNews.com, a Web site operated by ABC News, allows Internet users to compare their opinions with those participating in the 11 state primaries today, including Ohio.
After Ohio polls close at 7:30 p.m., Ohio exit poll questions and responses will be posted on the Internet. (http://abcnews.go.com/sections/politics/2000vote/epollintro.html)

(Participants' clicks will not be tabulated by VNS because they do not represent a random or representative sample.)
ABCNews.com plans to post exit polls for all 11 primaries today after polls close in those states.
Immediately available are Republican and Democratic exit polls from New Hampshire, Iowa and Delaware, and Republican exit polls from Arizona, Michigan, South Carolina and Virginia primaries last month.
CNN's Web site also posts exit polls and county-by-county returns from primary states (www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2000/).
Brian Hartman, an ABCNews.com political analyst, says the Internet will revolutionize how voters can follow election returns from any state.
“People can sort through the data themselves, and see (results) for themselves. They don't have to take our word for it,” Mr. Hartman says.
“Information that eight years ago producers had to themselves in ring binders above their desks we now have on the Internet for the whole world to look at,” he says.
