Last Exit on the Exit Polls

The exit polls that had Democrats overconfident on election day worked -- but not as well as in past elections. The final analysis shows the exit polls came up pretty close to the way the actual vote turned out.

The polling data has been released. An examination shows that none of the clients of the $10 million dollar system -- ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Fox, or the Associated Press -- was misled into inaccurate projections. The problem seems to be that people leaked incomplete data early in the day that was not true to the results the actual polling was gathering. (MSNBC)
