CNN exits have Trump approval at 44-55 nationally.
But NBC says Trump up 51-48 in Florida.
totally inconsistent

The Predictable Midterm Election Day Media Narrative Operation….

Posted on  by 

Based on an overlay of how the media narrated the November 2016 presidential election; and accepting an exponential doubling-down for their midterm election effort; we can forecast how the media will push a midterm narrative to bolster their overall efforts.

Starting around mid-day tomorrow the corporate media (majority left-wing) will draw attention to pre-selected races they are confident will turn from Republican to Democrat control.  The goal of this media effort will be to aid a surging ‘Democrat wave’; and, as a consequence, attempt to influence the mid-west and western state turnout.

Example: As soon as polls close on the east coast; those selected race outcomes will be used to push and deepen the disenfranchisement narrative.  Republican redistricted seats like Dave Brat (Virginia CD-07), with Democrat governors (Ralph Northam), are targets for use in advancing the narrative.   Should Brat lose to his Democrat challenger Abigail Spanberger, the media will use the example to push the ‘Democrat Wave’ headline, forecasting doom for the GOP House majority.  This is how the media operates.

Close races all along the east coast states will be used as examples to push a media story-line intended to suppress mid-west/western state republican voters from going to the polls; even though there are several hours of voting still available.

Additionally, close eastern time-zone senate/governor races will also be used for these purposes.  The goal will be to diminish turnout in states where polls are still open.

Any election outcome that does not that align with this narrative will be down-played.  If there are strong republican election wins in the eastern time-zone (House, Senate or Governor) those races will not be called, and the results intentionally held back.  This is how a specific narrative is framed.

These insufferable efforts were visible in the 2016 presidential election (Trump v. Clinton), and can be predicted to be deployed again in the midterm, this time with stronger intensity.   Media “exit polling” is always used to advance a narrative; lift their allied candidates and diminish any victory by their political opposition.  Remember, most media are glorified corporate lobbyists for ideological intents and purposes.

As the evening progresses, and more state polls close, any race that supports the Democrat ideology will be emphasized.  Any race or victory that does not advance the agenda will be downplayed and/or ignored completely.

To avoid falling into the trap, everyone should ignore all ‘exit polling’ and continue to vote regardless of the inbound barrage of structured disinformation from media.

If you live toward the western U.S., or in a time-zone that is hours behind eastern time, it is critical you continue to turn out to vote regardless of what you hear pushed through the media.  There are dozens of key races that will come down to a few hundred votes.  Make sure your voice is counted.

About as valid as Exit Polls in 2004.

It all very strongly depends on where the polls are taken.

People, it’s pretty much over. The votes are cast and you aren’t going to change anything.

No, not nearly over. Not when polls are still open practically everywhere. Democrat-favorable polls (what other kind are there?) are always trumpeted by the media on election day, for the same reason that the media will call close elections quickly when they can do so for the Rat (Indiana Senate this year, wait and see; they can always retract their call later after the damage is done), yet claim "too close" in runaway Republican wins -- to energize Democrats who have not yet voted and to demoralize Republicans who have not yet voted.

Do you think that maybe suppressing R turnout in the Arizona, Nevada or Montana Senate races might be desirable for Democrats? Polls in those states will be open quite a while longer.

You are better off turning off the coverage. Watch some old westerns or something. Follow on online. I don’t plan on watching Fox since they didn’t cover the rallies. When all is said and done, if we win I’ll tune in to see all the losers. If we lose, I’ll wish a pox on them all, hope they reap what they sow and turning all off. There’s no reasoning with ignorant people. Particularly virtue signaling stupid white women. It is they who have destroyed our country.

exit polls said hillary was gonna win ...conservatives don't talk to exit pollsters, so they don't work any more ... even the damnable Lying Leftist Fake Stream Enemedia™ know this, so the fact that these liars are pushing this tells me they're desperate for anti-Trump spin ...

The infamous Israeli exit poll of 2014 showed the Likud losing.

When the actual vote count came in, the Likud was winning.

Exit polls are garbage and have many of the same shortcomings as regular pols.

My husband is 56 and has NEVER been contacted by a pollster until last week. He hung up on ‘em.

Next you’ll be telling the exit polls confirming President Kerry’s victory were flawed.

Why on earth would people voting for Republicans; and issues that the Democrat-socialists are against, tell the exit polling gatherers the truth? Especially if the legacy media is there filming their response??? After all the hateful, bigoted and violent rhetoric from the Democrat-socialists and their media, voters would no doubt be afraid of actual physical backlash.

Is the media stupid? Guess so.

“Exit Polls in 2004”

Ah yes, those were the ones that fooled me. Still angry about how twisted they were.
I discounted them for bias, but not for fraud.

“What a coincidence, all the exit polls say just what the media wants them to say.”

Election interference is a very real thing in the U.S., but it’s done primarily by the propaganda media. It’s no coincidence they do this while the voting is ongoing.

Given how violent Democrats are (Antifa, etc), it would be dangerous to talk to exit pollsters.

At bare minimum, you could expect fake complaints against you.

Anyone who is influenced by a comment on a TV show (or an online forum) is too stupid to vote.
