A poll taken as voters leave polling places to infer election outcomes is called the:

• A. Entrance Survey
• B. Exit Poll
• C. Watchdog
• D. Public Affairs

Answer: (B)

This describes a polling method that is conducted as voters leave polling places to estimate election outcomes. An exit poll asks people who they voted for and collects contextual details right after they vote, enabling researchers to project results before official tallies and analyze turnout patterns. That match makes it the best fit for the scenario. The other terms don’t fit because an entrance survey is conducted as voters arrive, not after they have voted; a watchdog is an organization that monitors elections for fairness rather than collecting voting data; and public affairs refers to topics related to government policy and public interest, not a polling method.
