Exit Polls: Bush: 249 Gore:242 TIE: WI, OR, IA, FL?

[Gary H]

They have called every state per the exit polls except Florida. WI, OR, and Iowa are ties. Florida is clearly Gore, but they are either making it a horse race, or are fearful that the one-million absentee voters might alter the outcome.

Anyway, you need to watch WI, OR, IA FL.

How is Florida clearly Gore?

Bush is leading by 3 points w/ 85% reporting! And in California, he's leading by a point w/ 25% reporting!

It's not. I went back a looked at it again. Now, it really is confusing. The good thing is that absentee ballets tend to be Republican and older folks. If you look at the figures, the old folks voted for Bush.

Visit the link! In a close race, the statistical models used to project polls is practically useless... it comes down the the ACTUAL NUMBERS. You visit their state election board and you see Bush ahead!

However, in California, Gore passed Bush by less than half a point with 30% reporting.

 

[TheBluesMan]

29% to be precise.

Bush still leads Gore in California, but by only about 5,000 votes.

Bush is about 5,000 votes behind in Wisconsin now. A percentage point dead heat.

Still ahead in Oregon also.


This is unbelievable!!!

If there was ever a case for getting off your ass to vote, this is the election for it!!!!!

voter.com has Bush up in CA 48% to 47% and in FL 50% to 48%. FL will have to go to the absentee ballots. I gotta work in a few hours but I can't sleep. It's all about Java tomorrow.

Guys: Florida is the race. Bush is well positioned. The absentee ballots will be mostly Republican. I think that we have our man as the next President of the United States. Fingers still crossed!
