8. The CNN poll is problematic.
Exit polls are good for drawing conclusions about large swaths of voters but notoriously bad when it comes to specific demos. Everyone is fretting over "OMG! 70% of blacks voted for Prop 8!!" but we really don't know if that's the case.

This DailyKos diarist does a good job of throwing doubt on it:
