Florida: 50/49 - KERRY, Ohio: 50/49 - KERRY, Michigan: 51/47 - KERRY, Pennsylvania: 54/45 - KERRY, Iowa: 50/48 - KERRY, Wisconsin: 51/46 - KERRY, Minnesota: 57/42... Developing.. (these build two sets together for Iowa and Minnesota)

Here's Slate: via Kos: http://slate.msn.com/id/2109053/

Sen. John Kerry looks to make a victory of the electoral college, according to all three sets of exit polls conducted by a consortium of six media organizations (the National Election Pool) that RAW STORY has acquired and confirmed with myriad sources.

All of the polls put Kerry ahead in Florida, Ohio, and New Mexico. The two for which polling was available for other states had Kerry ahead in Pennsylvania, Minnesota and Wisconsin. In the polls received, Bush leads in Colorado, Louisiana and Arizona. Iowa is a tie.

P.s. I did vote but I cant change my avatar to "I Voted" since i'm still a newbie -sigh-

[BUSHOUT]

[Longgrain]

43. Thanks for the welcome...

I don't post much since I work all day at a non-computer related job, and usual hit the internet to relax a night, but this election has got me so pumped...unfortunatly being from MA I feel like such a wall flower, not having much money to spend and all, so I've focused my energies on NH...good news, I was there just this morning...NH is ours!

[tedoll78]

15. And these don't include EARLY VOTING!

Mu-wha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!

[Radio-Active]

16. rain is letting up in Southern Ohio

expect an even bigger turnout tonight..

[The Chronicler]

17. If this actually holds up, Kerry will get 300+ EVs

[TexasChick]

18. GO KERRY, GO KERRY, GO, GO, GO KERRY!!! n/t

[Oddman]

19. Really???

Are these real exit poll data - I'm sorry - this is like hoping for a Red Sox world series championship - I can't believe it might really happen!!!!!!

[Hobarticus]

21. Iowa's gotta go BLUE!!!!

Come on, don't let me down!

[WI_DEM]

22. Michigan is surprising

I mean I'm glad were up there, but I expected better--still if these numbers are anywhere near correct, it is very good. I wonder if the landslide in Pennsylvania might help Hoeffel?

[montana500]

44. nra nm

[Qutzupalotl]

23. It's V-W Day!

Victory over Dubya!

[endnote]

26. Jeb can still put something out of his hat..

[retread]

42. If he pulls something, it won't be out of his hat! On second thought

maybe it will be. He is an asshead!

[RummyTheDummy]

27. Please get it straight before posting

You had Kerry up by 4 in Fla. now it's 1. Nobody needs or wants this kind of drama.

[mvd]

29. This is wonderful!!

But remember, to make this happen, GOTV! We still need to keep the Kerry votes coming.

[Daocrat]

30. Just doing my duty... EXIT POLL STATEMENT

Let's always remember THIS:

If a favorable exit poll convinces people to skip voting, that exit poll is 100% GUARANTEED to be wrong. Skipping voting due to exit polls is like not bothering to buy a lottery ticket because someone has told you you're going to win the lottery. It doesn't make sense. You CAN'T win if you don't PLAY.

Exit polls can be a self-negating prophecy. If they are a source of encouragement, great, but they are BY NO MEANS a substitute for voting.

If the lines are long, there's always a wall to lean against. We can't afford to lose ONE VOTE for ANY reason.

Kerry in a land... well, you know the rest. :)

(NOTE: I think it would be a good idea to paste this message into EVERY exit poll thread. If you like, feel free to cut and paste this entire text in case I miss any exit poll threads or leave the keyboard. Thanks.)

[sonicx]

31. DAMN, I liked the old FL/OH numbers better!

why you do that, man? :( :)

[phish420]

32. VERY good news. Thanks.

[BUSHOUT]

33. How reliable is rawstory? Drudge and "The Corner" still not reporting..

this batch...?

[rawstory]

41. IT's from Slate (see link)

.

[LisaL]

34. GOTV-people.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kazak]

35. Looks good, but...

FL and OH are too close for comfort.

[GDoyle]

37. Early Voting

These are exit polls...so I assume they don't include the early voting which by some accounts Kerry was fairly comfortably ahead in? Is this correct?

GDoyle

[TexasChick]

39. GDoyle, I believe you may be correct. These exit polls are not showing

early voting, which had Kerry ahead, I believe.

[David Zephyr]

38. Doesn't the Panhandle in Florida Open Up Later Than the Rest of State?

I'm somewhat nervous about this.

[Fluffdaddy]

40. STILL TO DAMN CLOSE FOR MY LIKING...........BUT I'LL TAKE IT

"Polls not considered highly reliable, though Republicans typically vote earlier in day"

[robbedvoter]

45. Kick!
