Exit poll: The post referendum thread. No electioneering.

Ozymandius2011

This is for people who have already voted in the referendum. How did you vote? I voted yes.

Mod: This thread is little more than a survey about how you voted. Please don't the ins and outs of abortion.

Mod: This is not a reiteration of the previous 8th threads. If you were threadbanned from those, you are not threadbanned here.

personally think the makeyupy figures and scaremongering by iona made a lot of people turn to yes

Iona do no represent the vast majority of No voters. They should not have been allowed a platform in the major debates.

My take is most No voters are in favour of limited abortion for hard cases but against unrestricted abortion. I am certainly in that bracket.

It's a landslide. Hard to believe it went larger than marriage equality but there you are. I was certain it would be a much tighter margin, 8-10 point win for yes.

Amazing performance for yes.

It's better it is overwhelming win, since it gives the government clear direction on the way forward and will be easier for the country to heal.

When a 12 week old human is being executed on a whim all the Yes voters will have blood on thier hands.

Sad day for this country.

That's an amazing (predicted) result

Hope IT won't be left with egg on their face if the actual margin is much less

But it's definitely a Yes win.

You feel ashamed that people exercised their democratic right to vote?

I won't believe it until I see David Quinn's sour puss on the 6:01 News tomorrow evening.

Take the No rhetoric elsewhere - this is about the poll

No thanks.

Fantastic, I did expect it to be resounding YES to be honest, but great to see it more and more likely !

Predicted 60-40 but would be ecstatic with anything more than that. Well done to all those who campaigned and those who managed to get back to Ireland to vote.

The No side conceding?

The RTE poll is on The Late Late Show at 11.30.
If that corresponds it's a wrap.

For those calling "Trump" and "Brexit" on the exit polls: those were far closer, and always were. Margins in single digits.

I still want to see what RTEs poll comes out with, but it would be incredible for exit polls to be THAT wrong. The polling company's reputation would be annihilated.

Savita Halappanavar was told "you're in a Catholic country now" as she died.

Future Savita Halappanavar's, your mum, your sister, your daughter will hopefully be told "You're in a caring country now" as they survive.

Irish times exit polls predicting 68% victory for Yes.

That would be incredible.

That's amazing.
I actually have goosebumps.
Even in my most optimistic projections I only went as high as 60/40.
Let's hope the actual result matches.

Ireland's a mad country. At the same time this news breaks, there's a woman on the Late Late show talking about how she sees and talks to angels on a daily basis.

Oh ya, the no side have been banging on for 35 years how much they were in favour of limited in abortion for unfortunate cases. If I had a penny for every time ..... yawn.

Hopefully the exit poll is accurate and Irish women will be treated with a bit of respect and dignity in future.

No side represent a diversity of views from the extreme to the moderate who favour abortion for hard cases.
Another misrepresentation from you.

Happy happy fcuking day.

This country is going somewhere.

I am So PROUD!!!!!

Irish Times giving it 68-32 to yes.

It sounds barely plausible it would be so devastating to the No organisations, but IT and Ipsos MRBI were spot on for the equal marriage ref, so they have form.

If so, let it be the last effing time I hear the names Maria Steen, David Quinn, Cora Sherlock, Breda O'Brien, John Waters, Caroline Simons and John McGuirk in my life.

eeepaulo

An I right in thinking exit polls are usually close to accurate?

The same people who were saying Brexit and Trump were saying the same thing about Marine Le Pen last year ffs.

You will do well to find any Brexit Poll where remain had a 36 point lead:pac:

IT polling has been pretty accurate in the past - hope to god this is damn close to what they predict. Resounding win for the Yes side
Be interesting to see what RTE's poll shows but I hazard a guess very similar

How likely is this to be completely wrong?

Yes they do, their views began to diversify in the last 6 days after 35 years of failure to engage.
