First look at today's voting
From the initial batch of exit polls, it appears that the primary results won't be much of a surprise.
Alex Koppelman [2008-05-06]

  • bored?

    Now, there are many large caveats to keep in mind as you hear about exit polls for the next hour or two. First, this first wave of exit polls is notorious for being less than perfectly reliable. Second, in previous primaries exit polls have shown Obama doing about 7 percentage points better than he does in the actual vote. And finally, both Indiana and North Carolina are states that are considered very hard to model for polling purposes.

    But I guess we'll discuss these exit polls for a few hours anyway, even though we know going in that they are unreliable, eh?
