What are the exit polls showing?

Most places it's illegal to report exit polls until the polls close.

Not true. Exit polls are always released around 5 time. Takes a little time for the news networks to study.

R: FL, NC
O: OH, NV, PA, NH, MI
Toss up: VA, CO, IA

If exits are right, Obama is back in. But they have been wrong before. In 2008, they called it for John Kerry.

Long night???

Does this really matter?

 

[georgiaboy]

where's a good place online to watch results roll in? Politico? RCP?

Drudge just moved OH from Obama to Toss Up.

Saw that.

Just turned on the cable news.... MSNBC looks happy, FOX looks scared.

I got an email from Kerry inviting me to his victory party. May it prove prophetic

 

[CPUd]

I will LOL if they call a bunch of states for Obama with 2% reporting like they did for Mitt during the primaries.

I would think that's a violation of the freedom of speech?

For 2016 it does.

I would think so, too. But what's that got to do with it?

 

[V3n]

They don't release the polls until its closed because 'they don't want the outcome to be influenced by the figures' - is what I always heard.

Best thing that could happen to America is for Reps to take the Senate and Bama to keep the WH. Full-scale logjam.

I agree. I want gridlock with EITHER of those two losers in the WH.
