I just pray that they don’t screw up the exit polls like they did in 2000. They were saying Al Gore was going to win and President Bush went on to win.
Kerry ( who served in Vietnam ) thought he won based on exit polling . It mean nothing until the final count .
IIRC, it has been shown that Democrats are more likely than Republicans to be included in the exit polls. Probably in part because many Republicans used to go out of their way, to avoid being polled. Maybe this has changed now; or maybe the exit polls continue to underestimate Republican voters. Either way, the actual percentage of “(D)” votes shouldn’t be greater than the exit polls indicate.
