Don't put any stock in the exit polling. Remember the 2004 exit poll results? They all had Kerry winning. As we know that isn't how it turned out. Please ignore the exit polls and VOTE!!!
:D
May God bless this nation!

Published: November 04, 2004 11:00 AM EST NEW YORK (AP) News organizations promised Wednesday to look into why their Election Day exit polls showed an initial surge for John Kerry, but also blamed bloggers for spreading news that gave a misleading view of the presidential race.
The exit poll data was delivered at several points Tuesday to the National Election Pool -- owned by The Associated Press and the networks, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and Fox News Channel -- by Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International. The pool hired the companies for exit polling after the networks' blown calls on election night 2000 and exit-poll systems failures in 2002.
The first wave showed Kerry with a lead of three percentage points in Florida and four points in Ohio -- both battleground states won by President Bush when the votes were actually counted, giving the president his margin of victory.
"Once one part of it is in question and is wrong, it kind of puts the whole thing in question," said Marty Ryan, Fox News Channel's executive producer for political coverage. "It was disappointing. ... During the primary season, it worked very well for us, we were happy with it. But that was not good last night."
