I actually see this as good news.

I have been in the camp that has thought a Trump win is a long shot. Haven’t spread it on FR because why potentially dampen enthusiasm.

The fact that Trump is projected as being ahead in most of the states he needs to win and is projected as being very competitive in a number blue states means he has a legit shot to win this.

Definitely not the time to get discouraged FReepers. If there is any way you can get people to the polls before they close, DO IT!

Polls in PA do not close until 8. I am in the longest line I’ve ever been in my life. President Kerry was on TV just last night to stress the importance of exit polls but they don’t mean everything.

I know you and others will understand when I say, I’ve been disappointed for far too long. I am fatigued trying to honestly believe in America. This is my las time to engage. I can’t do this anymore. Life is too short and I am now 55 years old. There has got to be more

No kidding. I don’t know how many times it’s been posted here; the exit polls are often wrong...don’t wig out about them. It reminds me of the people who keep complaining that Fox News is biased against Trump. No $hit. I guess people keep watching expecting a different result.

It’s Chicago East in my opinion.

Holy Sh*t. I just looked up the turnout numbers in Collier and Lee Counties in Florida. Republican turnout in Collier is 88% RIGHT NOW (Dem turnout much lower). Republican turnout in Lee County is 70%, Dem turnout is 63%. These are two heavily Republican counties. We may have a dozen or more Florida counties break 90% Republican turnout!! Damn. BTW, got to the individual county board of supervisor websites to look up the stats in real-time.

Don’t forget, the Florida panhandle, which is an hour behind the east coast, leans heavily R.

The exist polls were sure as hell wrong in 2004 when South Carolina exit polls, as well as the exit polls from other states, had Kerry winning and it was not true.

It is based on exit data, which were wildly wrong and in favor of Gore 2000 and Kerry 04.

Exit polls are also used by the 'rat party as an excuse to cry "foul" when their candidate loses. After the 2004 election, in late 2004 or early 2005 or so, Jimmuh Carter visited Rice University here in Houston to make a speech about something. There were protesters waiting with signs that read "Exit Polls Don't Lie!" These pathetic losers were trying to enlist Jimmuh's aid in contesting the 2004 election.

It’s also the Philadelphia suburbs that are enamored with Mrs. Bill. Lots of feminists and beta males there

CALM DOWN, PEOPLE!

Exactly. The Bible commands us to be anxious about nothing, but it seems that so many posts on FR are to the tune of, "I FEAR this...", "I FEAR that...." I mean, why even bother to pray if you're going to fear everything under the sun? What ever happened to "faith"??? You can't have it both ways.

As you said, we should let the evening progress and not jump to conclusions.

Anecdotal evidence @ PA: At my local polling place they already had as many votes in by 2:30 in the afternoon than they usually do all day. The pages of the book where they recorded the names and party affiliations of voters showed WAY more R’s than D’s.

A neighboring community has had a 1 hour wait at 8:30 a.m.

The latest poll about South Western PA had Trump up 16 points. Why is that important? Pittsburgh is in SWPA. It takes Philly AND Pittsburgh voting Democrat to turn the state blue.

Trump just said on Hannity that if the FL panhandle gets out and votes, Florida looks good.

FReepers that are too stupid to understand what margin of error means in pre-election polling are certainly too stupid to understand how MOE works in exit polling.

They are not always right but are only RARELY wrong. And no poll ever had Kerry winning SC; you’re thinking of Ohio maybe.

The polls were also wrong on a Senate race in NH a few years back where they called it for the Rat when Bob Smith (R) really won re-election. Other than that the exit polls are almost always right.
