A DR election projection published early Tuesday, based on very early exit polls, predicted disaster for the Social Democrats with just 22.7 pct. and sparked off a media frenzy, even though the party eventually won an unexpected 29.5 pct. This is according to media reports including Seven59.dk and jp.dk.<\/p>\n

The potential shock result was widely reported before the polls had closed, which according to the party\u2019s spokesman on media affairs, Mogens Jensen, could have had a negative outcome on the final result.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s fairly obvious that if somebody is waiting in line to vote and is told that the Social Democrats are losing throughout the country then they could be tempted to change their mind,\u201d he said. \u201cI would prefer the media to regulate itself and act sensibly but if they can\u2019t then we should copy other countries and ban exit polls before all polling stations are closed at 8 pm.\u201d<\/p>\n

His Liberal counterpart, Ellen Trane N\u00f8rby, shared the lack of enthusiasm for exit polls but said she her party wouldn\u2019t support legislation to ban them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe it\u2019s up to TV and media outlets to show responsibility and allow voters the privilege of voting in peace and quiet without being bombarded with bombastic conclusions based on very limited data collection,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
