Some information the media hasn't mentioned about what recent exit polls don't show

According to a post-election survey conducted by Faith in Public Life and the Center for American Progress Action Fund, nearly 340,000 white evangelical Democrats in Missouri and Tennessee favored Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. But one would never know from reading the exit polls that day because pollsters only asked Republicans if they were evangelical, said Katie Barge of Faith in Public Life, the non-profit organization that co-sponsored the survey.

Those exit polls also failed to note that white evangelicals in both states ranked jobs and economy as the most important issues in deciding how to vote, far outnumbering those who considered abortion and same-sex marriage most important.

2. Good MORNING! The media gather the info useful in justifying the lying ...
That's called "doing the job". Now, if they started reporting all the facts, people wouldn't conform to the memes that they are supposed to. After the 2004 election Saint Al From suggested that the results meant the Democrats should dump our pro-choice plank. Now, if people went around gathering info showing that most evangelicals were more interested in the economy than abortion, where would we be?

Eggplant tennis anyone is a profound expression of 'l'esprit' of the law!
