Sam DenbyNARRATOR
There are two competing systems of polling.
Sam DenbyNARRATOR
The first is the Associated Press' VoteCast system, a relatively new method where voters are polled at home via the internet and phone in the days leading up to Election Day, and the second is the National Election Pool system used by ABC, CBS, CNN, and NBC.
Sam DenbyNARRATOR
This system uses the more traditional exit poll method where individuals leaving polling stations are asked who they voted for in an attempt to gather a representative sample.
Sam DenbyNARRATOR
Both of these systems give media organizations an idea of how voters are leaning on Election Day and help them know where the results are likely to swing.

Steve AbramowiczHOST
So because of this minor share, major state surveys like the AP VoteCast or National Election Pool don't even publish specific candidate vote splits for Tennessee's Hispanic demographic.

Some of you know that in my previous role at Edison Research, I had the opportunity to work on the exit polls for what was called the National Election Pool, a consortium of major news networks.
Gavin GaddisHOST
And I spent a lot of that time looking at a lot of tiny numbers in a lot of precincts around the country.

In the twenty-twenty four election, which many called the podcast election, I was admittedly a bit skeptical about the import of podcasting's role on the outcome.
