That's good imo.

No one needs to feel like they should stay home.

I think there was some agreeance not to report exit polls until the first polls closed.

Because suppressing voter turnout in the mountain and pacific time zones require numbers showing HRC with a lead.

Because the media is conspiring against you. Don't want that exit poll data out since it at be rigged like the real polls can.

Because they're adjusting their narrative

Hillary is going to lose this in a LANDSLIDE

Sky news saying 52% of voters were women (surprising to me)

Less Millenials than '12



Apparently 18% of people said Terrorism was their highest priority...surely that is 18% of people voting for Trump

They want the ratings. They likely know who won. Trying to stay positive but the talk about Florida is a concern.

Media folks have learned that they're pretty unreliable.

The BBC and I believe most of the other major news outlets do not report on exit polling till the polls close.

Yeah, it's hard to read into specific exit poll questions. Sure, 70% of those polled could be against a border wall, but who knows if 50% of that 60% is voting based on tax or economic policy?

Unless they're actual terrorists, then they're voting Hillary
