They probably did them in preference to exit polls because the caucuses aren't a simple in-and-out matter, so those sweet sweet exit polls that the media use to call elections right out of the gate are infeasible.

Also, for caucuses, they are a bit less intimidating than for primaries or general elections, because there's plenty more to influence the voter once ze is in the caucus chamber.

Do these numbers make sense? Out of 2,723,322, only approximately 32,308 people are voting?
