Official exit polls results have been agreed by major news networks to be held back until each particular states polls close. Political analysts from ABC, Associated Press, CBS, CNN, Fox and NBC have agreed to report general trends but cannot report the results of exit polls until the polls close, according to Poynter.
I don't think that's new. They held off on release (or claimed to) in 2008 as well. This policy stemmed from the Kerry '04 debacle where they were calling him "Mr. President". Since then, the only "result-oriented" exit poll data you will see will be the result of a leak.
THE FIX IS IN!<-——Hey, it is Free Republic on Election Day 2012 after all ;)
