(14,565 posts)Call it Shy Tory or whatever you want to call it. Exit polls are not fully reliable and tend to favor Democrats. That's why I was so discouraged tonight when DemocratSinceBirth posted some early exit poll info on the gender gap. It aligned with virtually a dead even race. To me, that seemed to indicate a likely 2-3 point defeat for Jones.
Years ago there was great conversation and input here from posters like Febble and OnTheOtherHand. I haven't seen posts from them in a while. I know they went to Kos when the Election Reform forum got out of hand here, and they were ruthlessly attacked.
Their stuff was far better than my own, and I don't own the energy right now to post a competent version of my own material. Let's just say I am never impressed with a sample of one, not when that sample bucks the established and logical trend. I suspect exit polls will continue to overstate Democratic strength.
