When has the Drudge Report Exit Poll numbers been right? Don't fall for it!!!!

Guys, we have gone through this before. Wait for the REAL RESULTS. Demographic exit polls are okay to play with for trends. But you look at exit polls of the final results of the election at your own risk. Plus they are fed in by the Clinton campaign to drive up expectations for Obama only to see them dashed by lower numbers later on. Don't fall for it!

9. Agreed. I dont think Drudge should be trusted. At all.

His occasional stories that turn out to be correct dont mean anything to me. Drudge isnt someone the Dems should be using as a source. Ever.

Within a few points. He said 11, it turned out to be 9.

And he claims the numbers are from Clinton's internal polling, so consider the source.

I treat this as I would any other internal polling. With a grain of salt.
