1. Uh...

2. As I said before, the NH exit polls showed a trend.
It showed Hillary was in for a good night, as most polls had Obama blowing her out and the exit polls showed her within 2 or 3 points. Yeah she won by about that margin, but it's important to realize it did show a trend.

And the exit polls were right about South Carolina and Florida.

But I agree, take them with a grain of salt.

3. It's the pre-election polls that are bogus - pollsters with an agenda
(like Mark Penn) trying to create consensus through numbers.

The EXIT polls are to be trusted.
