isn't even finished, and she is typically trying to demoralize the Democrats

In addition, the headline does not reflect the actual report

"
Exit Polls Show More Union Members Than 2010, But Otherwise Similar
The Washington Post reports that early exit poll tabulations in Wisconsin show that "union households comprise roughly a third of all voters, a share of the vote that is higher than either of the last two presidential or gubernatorial elections held in the state."
However, the early tabulations also show a makeup of voters that otherwise appears very close to the 2010 electorate that elected Gov. Scott Walker "on race, ideology and religion, among other factors." Wisconsin's 2010 voters were significantly more conservative and slightly more Republican than in previous elections. The Post also reports that on party identification, the exit poll shows rough parity -- roughly the same result as in 2010 -- with "about a third each identif[ing] as Democrats, Republicans and independents."
-- Mark Blumenthal
