Exit Polls

posted by on November 4 at 15:30 PM

They’re creeping out… But. Remember 2004. And remember how many people early-voted this year. And remember 2004.

Still:

Gawker says the exit polls are tighter than recent polling.

Drudge says “Obama Big.”

And The Page has video of FOX News leading with bad news for Obama among white male voters. (Which isn’t all that meaningful, since Obama has never needed to, or been expected to, win a majority of this demographic.)

Exit polls have a huge margin of error.

In many battleground states, up to 65% of registered voters have already voted before today, and early voters have gone overwhelmingly for Obama. So even if exit polls are tight, there's cavalry.

@14

So when McCain appears to be carrying Kentucky by almost the same margin that Obama appears to be carrying New Hampshire, it thanks to Bigots...

You're an asstardistic idiot.

Or is race really the only factor that you are voting on this year?...

In which case the same times two.
