Polls | GRAIN OF SALT: "Leaked" Exit Polls Showing Kerry Strong

This over at The Blue Lemur, part of the Raw Story news site:

Here are the first exit polls, confirmed from sources in both parties, as leaked to RAW STORY. The first number is the percentage of voters supporting Kerry, the second are those supporting Bush.

AZ 45-55
CO 48-51
LA 42-57
MI 51-48
WI 52-48
PA 60-40
OH 52-48
FL 51-48

A second round of polls, conducted by the Kerry campaign, show similar trends, also suggesting the senator will will New Mexico and New Hampshire.

MICH 51-47
NM 50-48
MINN 58-40
WISC 52-43
IOWA 49-49
NH 57-41

Again, GRAIN OF SALT WARNING … let’s not forget that Florida changed hands four times in four hours in 2000 …

While these numbers may be accurate right now, I expect the tide to turn later. Here in MN, there are a lot of Kerry supporters canvassing the neighborhoods. One guy was riding the light rail and asking people if they voted. Apparently a lot of people took the day off. Heck, I even saw two people dressed as a donkey walking around with a “go vote” sign on and playing “Keep on Rocking in the free world” on a tape player. That was right outside the University of Minnesota.

I have not seen one Bush supporter canvassing, or standing around holding a sign, though I know there are plenty of them here.

I have a feeling that the Bush supporters went to work and will be voting after work.
