Every two years, US citizens vote for some Senators (1/3 of the total) and all the Representatives. This is because A Senator has a term of office of six years and a Representative has a term of office of two years.

How are senators terms different from representatives terms?
senators serve longer terms because there are 435 Representatives and there are only 100 senators 2 to each state so senators have alot more work to do which means if they had a short amount of time they won't get anything done
Do senators serve in the 4 territories?
Since you mention four, I assume you mean the unincorporated organized territories, there being four of those. Puerto Rico has a territorial government that is set up essentially the same as a state government, with senators and representatives and a governor. They send a "Resident Commissioner" to the US House of Representatives. The resident commissioner is nominally a nonvoting member (he's allowed to vote under certain circumstances, but it's basically symbolic and amounts to "you can vote as long as your vote doesn't actually affect the result."). They have no representation in the US Senate. This basic pattern holds for the other territories as well, except that the US Virgin Islands and Guam have a unicameral legislature (there's no house of representatives, just a senate).

What are exit polls?
The practice of exit polling is used extensively by the news media in elections in the United States. Generally speaking these polls are used in state and federal elections. The operation of this practice is to ask citizens exiting polling places how they voted. People often do not want to waste their time in answering the questions of news reporters. When they do, however, it provides voting data to allow the news media to make projections on election winners and losers. Here is an example. In a national election there are places where a political party has many registered voters and has historically, for example, voted for Democrats. If based on the data received in exit polling, respondents inform reporters that they have voted for Republican candidates, instead of Democrats, this unusual voting pattern may project that Republicans are winning a particular election.

John Adams was elected Vice-President as a result of the first US Presidential election on January 7, 1789. The decision was made by the electoral college, which represented only ten of the original thirteen states (North Carolina and Rhode Island had not yet ratified the Constitution; the New York legislature couldn't agree who to appoint as electors), then the vote was certified by the US House of Representatives. George Washington received the most electoral votes, 69, and was named President. John Adams received the second most votes, 34, and was named Vice-President.Under normal circumstances, Presidential Elections are held in years evenly divisible by four (1796...2012, etc.); however, the new government didn't become operational until 1789, the year after the required number of states ratified the US Constitution. Subsequent elections were held according to pattern explained above.Washington and Adams were reelected to their respective offices in 1792.
