Right, that was my point - primary voters are not representative of general election voters, and so conclusions about general election voters should not be drawn from primary voter data.

Okay, fair enough, I didn't quite realize that's what you were arguing against.

I need to hunt down the demographic info for the general exit polling; this is one of the big questions on my mind.

Sorry, I probably wasn't expressing clearly. Yeah, that'd be interesting, haven't seen anything about that yet.
