If this exit poll is accurate, McCain has lost Virginia.

[meandog]

Gawd, Shepherd Smith is having a gay orgasm over Obama. I can hardly watch

[goawaylibs]

Yeah, OK, a nine point D advantage.

This exit poll seems sauced.

[DallasDeb]

NN has a map on their website (http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/results/president/). They are showing what the votes are in each state as the #s come us. McCain has 54% in Florida, 51% in Indiana, 54% in Virginia!

BTW, I hate CNN.

[TitansAFC]

These numbers are not correct.

I REDIRECT you to the Gawker post that showed exit pollsters polling 4-1 Blacks to Whites.

[wiseprince]

How did they come up with the part id?

[Names Ash Housewares]

Exit polls are worthless.

Again..

Exit polls are worthless.

Wait for actual votes to be counted.

[Parley Baer]

I’m not watching TV tonight. I can’t stand any of them and sorry to say FOX.

[BGHater]

Well, thank God Whites aren’t racist.

Btw, looks like McCain is losing the Latino vote.

[PapaBear3625]

Exit polls are not that accurate. We won’t really have a good picture until 10pm. I think I’ll take a nap.

[sanchmo]

Even in a worst-case scenario, party affiliation should not be +9% Dem. They are missing at least 3% of voters, prob more like 5-7%

[null and void]

Are you saying that the blacks are voting for the democrat???

Isn’t that racist?

[Brett66]

McCain is leading 56/43 in Virginia with 3% reporting in according to Fox News.

[khnyny]

Hello newbie - I see you registered today...

[COBOL2Java]

I’m not watching TV tonight. I can’t stand any of them and sorry to say FOX.

Same here. The Mrs. and I are watching "Andy Griffith" on TVLand.

[westmichman]

Is Va. 21% Black?

[avacado]

VA in 2004: Reps 39%, Dems 35%

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/states/VA/P/00/

[Joe Miner]

Is anyone using the online interactive map at fox news? Right now it is showing 3.52% for Thomas Stevens?? Some hacker or an idiot at fox news playing with it? No I don’t drink so it’s not me!

[SMCC1]

Northern Liberal Virgina didn’t come in yet.

[Smogger]

On most political matters, do you consider yourself: (2,294 Respondents)	Obama	McCain
Liberal (22%)	91%	8%
Moderate (47%)	60%	39%
Conservative (32%)	19%	79%

No matter how you voted today, do you usually think of yourself as a: (2,354 Respondents)	Obama	McCain
Democrat (41%)	92%	7%
Republican (32%)	9%	91%
Independent or something else (27%)	50%	46%

[Tribune7]

It's BS. Don't even worry about it.

Women and Dems responded far more disproportionately than they should have.

What is interesting is that Obama isn't getting much more percent of the black vote in Va. than Gore/Kerry to nationally.

[glock rocks]

[Cedric]

Get lost.

[Dog]

Hey troll....the name gave you away.

[andy58-in-nh]

I'm only going to say this once, so please pay attention:

EXIT POLLS ARE WORTHLESS. There are more Republicans than Democrats in Virginia, still, and Republicans are more likely to vote. What does that tell you?

[AmericaUnited]

These are crap! Conservatives and Republicans participate at a much, much lower rate.

PRESIDENT JOHN KERRY HAS CERTIFIED WHAT I JUST SAID!

[aft_lizard]

This exit poll seems sauced, no way McCain loses every key demographic except for the 65+, I simply don’t believe it.

[Red in Blue PA]

TROLL ALERT!

[library user]

Yeah, but why is Obama so close to McCain in IN and Obama is way up in NH.

[OSHA]

Welcome to your short, short stay on FR.

[Eric Blair 2084]

I REDIRECT you to the Gawker post that showed exit pollsters polling 4-1 Blacks to Whites.

I've just looked at my skin color and I am 4-1 black to white. I'm sort of light brown. The needle would skip off the record if I ever walked into one of those honky tonk bars. (I'm a first gen immigrant who should be an honorary redneck and Southerner).

I just exited the bathroom with a copy of Playboy under my arms and according to my personal poll, McCain will win in a landslide. But my exit poll has a margin of error of +/- 97%. Take it for what it's worth.

[Crimson Elephant]

Michael Barone with depressing news about VA. Obama running 10% ahead of 2004 with suburban Richmond but McCain simply holding the same vote as W in rural counties.

[Gondring]

These numbers are not correct.

I REDIRECT you to the Gawker post that showed exit pollsters polling 4-1 Blacks to Whites.

Wow! The exit poll shows 69% white, 21% black (5% Hispanic/Latino, 3% Asian, 2% other)....So the respondents are lying to the pollsters about their race?!?

[festus]

I appreciate you differentiating between conservatives and republicans.

[TonyInOhio]

ABC's story that followed up this exit poll ata said black turnout nationwide was only 13%, Just slightly higher than 2004.

If true, Barry's crapping his pants about now.

[Aria]

$crew you.

[CottonBall]

PRESIDENT JOHN KERRY HAS CERTIFIED WHAT I JUST SAID!

Thank you for the reminder! I guess we're keyed up, to bored to discuss anything else, so the exit polls are all there is. The MSM knows this and uses it to their advantage. I think I'll take a break, go feed some cats, and come back a little later when some REAL numbers are in!

[Smogger]

I know that’s why I posted the breakdown right there in the title. Don’t shoot the messenger!

[davek70]

Barone just said on FOX that McCain is losing around Richmond more than Bush, and NOT getting more turnout near Lynchburg... not good. McCain needed HUGE turnout in SW areas.

[johncocktoasten]

OK. The demographics didn’t change enough to go from R+3 in 2006 to D+11. The exits only had Obama Up 2% in VA with this voter ID. I think it is clear that McCain will win VA. There is no way that VA worse than even in party ID

[khnyny]

It sure as heck did!

The only thing is, I can’t decide if it’s a jealous female or a jealous male, lol. Either way “it’s” a dem.

[WashingtonSource]

But isn’t this based on exit polling?

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

Noticed that, too.

Used to be you couldn’t just sign up and start threads... you had to post for a little while. It was a good system.

[nicollo]

These reporters are hanging around (and placing their hopes upon) northern VA.

[glock rocks]

[CurlyBill]

This is a garbage poll. FoxNews was showing numbers that were far different for men in VA. Folks, please remember that in 2004 the exit polling was ALL WRONG!! They ALWAYS overstate the DummyRat vote.

[andy58-in-nh]

No shots fired. I just want people to stay chilly and realize that the exit polls are what they are - highly self-selective and of little probative value.

[GOPyouth]

If this exit poll is accurate, McCain has lost Virginia.

So, you're saying that if these exit polls are not accurate, McCain has won?

How's your first day at FR going?
