The definitive source for accurate, timely and comprehensive election data: Exit Polls, Vote Count, Election Projections, Delegate Estimates
The survey of record for U.S. elections
Since 2004, The National Election Pool (NEP) and Edison Research have conducted the only national exit polls in the United States. The NEP is the source for projections and analysis for every midterm election, presidential primary, and presidential election. Our 2022 general election coverage included Election Day exit polls at voting locations around the country, weeks of in-person exit polls at early voting locations, and multi-mode (phone and web) RBS surveys of by-mail voters.
A proven source for accurate and timely Nationwide vote tabulation
In an effort to improve quality, streamline data collection, and expand election coverage in 2018, ABC News, CBS News, CNN, and NBC News ended their arrangement with the Associated Press for vote tabulation and now exclusively partner with Edison Research for these data.
Edison Research provides the NEP with a fast and accurate vote count throughout the nation, delivering data for all statewide races and all House races. Race projections are made in all 50 states for statewide races and ballot measures, as well as all 435 House races.
