There is reason to think exit polls should be pessimistic about Biden VMA131Marine Nov 2022 #18

I thought exits accounted for early voting... nt AZSkiffyGeek Nov 2022 #20

How? VMA131Marine Nov 2022 #21

They most definitely include early voters or exits would be profoundly skewed. DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2022 #24

They do but these are preliminary numbers. DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2022 #22

Inflation was way worse under Reagan maryellen99 Nov 2022 #19

Not really Azathoth Nov 2022 #23

Not fully true. In 1982, inflation was still 6.16%. So, it was definitely high and it hurt Reagan. Beautiful Disaster Nov 2022 #29
