Actually, it makes some sense then. First of all, only about 1/3 of Americans actually vote before they go to work. The reason is obvious...who really wants to get up early in the morning? I never do!

Secondly, it makes a lot of sense that early exit polls consist more of women than men. Think about it. What major group of Americans would have the ability to vote during the day? Stay-at-home Moms, perhaps? Polls have consistently shown Kerry beating Bush among women, while Bush is solidly beating Kerry among men.

All this means is that an exit poll done in the middle of the afternoon is as useful as the old kickstand on a Sherman tank and screen door on a submarine.

This is BAD news for Kerry-if this ratio of men to women is correct. Democrats only win when they get 55-60% of the women's vote. With that ratio he should be way ahead. If women are splitting evenly Bush is a shoo-in(assuming Bush holds the male vote which 90% of pre-election polls have him doing.
