Exit Polls Show Big Obama Leads

November 04, 2008 07:03 PM ET | John Aloysius Farrell | Permanent Link | Print

Our friends at The Huffington Post have published the early network exit polls here.

They show Barack Obama with big leads in the battleground blue states (including Pennsylvania) and narrow leads (with a few important exceptions) in battleground red states like Virginia. The Huff Post is publishing these results with a big warning—that younger voters tend to answer exit questionnaires far more willingly than older folks, thus tilting the polls toward the Democrats. So digest this with a grain of salt. If you don't believe me, ask President Kerry.
