On the other hand, democrats are more likely to vote early, skewing results the other way. Maybe the best thing to do is just wait for official results from each state...

That's too easy

Find a house you trust and see what they say. If you don't trust a particular house which deals with these sort of things, don't even bother looking at the exit polls.

The term house here = a company that deals with statistical analysis, usually employed by parties to provide factual, accurate real time feedback. that is how they are called in my country: house "name of company".
 
I haven't particularly listened to polls throughout this whole election cycle...I certainly won't change and listen to some exit polls.

Show me the numbers.

How about Democrats key the cars or slash the tires of those with Conservative Bumper sticksers.


Kinda like how TEA Party visitors to the mall put their trash in the bins, while OWS thugs crap on Police Cars and smash windows with bricks.


We all KNOW the truth of it, wether we can admit it or not.

i don't see the problem with crapping on a police car when the police have brutally abused occupy protests.

Tit for Tat, Tat or Tit, in a never ending escalation, eye for an eye for an eye until the whole world is blind...


And then we can start to bite out each others throats in the argument over who started it.


This is the foundation of great civilizations, obviously...
 
Perhaps it is because democrats don't have jobs to hurry off to.......:nails





(It was a joke. Lighten up already)

it's a conspiracy by democrats to try to skew the exit polls and create grounds for a lawsuit :monkey

Nah. It's just that Republicans tend not to trust MSM types, and don't talk to them.
 
Frankly, after Florida 2000, and given the incentive it gives to engage in Fraud, I don't even know why results are reported until all precincts are counted and the tally is final.
 
According to Letterman, the recount starts Wednesday and SCOTUS decides for Romney on December 18... :mrgreen:

A lot of the "bad" people, or perhaps all of them depending on how you look at it, aren't real OWS protesters, they are thugs, degenerates, punks looking for trouble.

It's because Republicans are in a hurry to go back to work.

Ya, I wouldn't put much stock in the exit polls as an indicator of who will win the election. They aren't nearly as well-calibrated as traditional opinion polling. I think exit polls are useful for after-the-fact analysis for political science, but I wouldn't read too much into them in terms of what they say about the candidates' chances on Election Day. We'll know who won in a few more hours anyway. :2razz:
