mr_genius Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I think the exit polls will slant pro-Democrat. But I still predict a 7% win for Obama in popular vote and large electoral college win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I still predict a 7% win for Obama in popular vote and large electoral college win. I think the "Unweighted" exit polls certainly will. Which is of course, the garbage everyone winds up posting early. Broken down by categories and eventually normalized, that will be useful data.

HuskyCaucasian Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I've said it before, with regards to the exit polls.... do NOT trust the "leaks". However, when you see them posted at MSNBC or CNN, they are fairly accurate. The Democratic primaries were pretty close to dead on. And 2004 was pretty good too.

HuskyCaucasian Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 4, 2008 -> 05:27 PM) CNN has Indiana reporting now. They start reporting, but the whole state doesnt close until 6 central and that is when they will make projections and release exit polls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 4, 2008 -> 03:27 PM) CNN has Indiana reporting now. Some of the early, more rural, hell let's call them "Hillary" counties in Indiana are coming in fairly close or even with a reasonable Obama lead. Vigo county, on the IL border, is half reported and it's at 57/42 Obama. This will be the last time in my life I ever think about Vigo county, Indiana. If it's anywhere close when the boom from NW IND and Marion county comes in, then Indiana will be blue. McCain needs to run up the score in the rural counties.

While that's an interesting number, it's hard to take without a context...i.e. is it lagging because they're voting Obama, is it lagging because of turnout, is it lagging in specific regions. Etc.

Balta1701 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I'd like to note, if memory serves, the first 2 states called in 2004 were Indiana and Kentucky, both happening about 10 minutes from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
