Regarding Exit Polls     11/7/2006
By Mike Mears

Haven't the networks been saying that the exit polls would show a massive win for the Democratic Party?

According to reports, exit polls reported on in the last three elections have not always been accurate. Before you believe everything you hear on CNN, ABC and the rest of the networks, remember:

• Early exit polling returns in 2004 were widely inaccurate, declaring Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) to be the next president of the United States and Republicans barely holding a one seat majority in the U.S. Senate.
• In the 2002 midterm elections, exit polling produced unusable data.
• In 2000, exit polling malfunctioned and incorrectly projected vice president Al Gore as the winner of the crucial battleground state of Florida.
