Exit poll obsession

 Many people are jobless and waste time watching TV channels that telecast exit poll results. Most often, exit poll outcomes are contradictory to the actual election results. The hype given to these surveys is unwarranted. For instance, one of the exit poll surveyors has endorsed 18 seats in Kerala to UDF, while another admits only 12. It is time to prevent the exit poll obsession.

There should be some law in place against those surveyors pitching half-truths or no truths.
