As you saw this election, the US broadcasters were also very cautious in conveying the results of the exit investigation as they showed the appearance of a super close battle.



In particular, since the prediction of the outcome was wrong in the presidential election four years ago, this time I am more cautious.

Reporter Hak-Hwi Kim will deliver this information.

As soon as the vote in the eastern United States was over, CNN delivered the results of the exit survey.



[CNN: This exit survey is subject to change.

This is an early exit investigation.]



I didn't forget that the results could change.



[CNN: President Trump will win in Indiana.]



Indiana, with 11 electoral votes, is a very strong presidential area for President Trump, so it has a clear outlook, but other states have not.



[CNN: Virginia, which has 13 electors, is too early to declare.

It is too early for South Carolina to declare it now.]



Even after that, the results of the exit survey reflected the actual counting results and predicted the winning regions for each candidate.



In the presidential election four years ago, major media in the United States were embarrassed when they announced that the Democratic Party candidate Hillary Clinton had a chance of winning more than 90 percent the day before the election.



Few media companies predicted the election results ahead of this presidential election, and the Associated Press and Fox News did not conduct exit investigations at all.



Only four broadcasters, including CNN, conducted an exit survey jointly, and a new variable emerged.



The number of pre-voting that could not be reflected in the exit survey on the day has soared to more than 100 million.



[Chris Kahn/Reuters Poll Editor: The exit poll results are just the first data we get from polling company Edison Research.

You will probably see more interesting numbers later tonight.]



Broadcasters who conducted exit surveys are in the position that they have prepared a supplementary device, such as reflecting the predicted values ​​for the pre-voting, but the results of the exit survey until the unprecedented number of pre-voting in the ultra-thin battle I had to be extremely careful with my presentation.
