If it is, it's pure bullshit feel good click bait.

With the size of early voting increasing, election day exit polls mean exactly squat. You've missed a large block of highly motivated base voters, so these swings are among a subset of voters.

Not that I don't like it, but lets get real. If this is exit poll data it is corrupt.
