2020 Presidential Election Results & Exit Polls commentary thread

That's good news for Trump if you think 34% is enough to win.

Obvious Trump is going to get  very lucky in the EC and Biden will win nearly 90% in the 268 fire wall while 270 EVs are all titanium tilt R forever no matter what!

Yeah, sorry, I posted the tweet just because it had the full #s for that question.  The editorializing by the tweeter saying that was good for Trump is something I don't endorse.

This guy works for Mike Pence. Also, EXIT POLLS ARE MEANINGLESS. How many times does this have to be said?

ATLAS 5 MINUTES AGO: Don't extrapolate from the initial exit polls!! They're extra crappy this year!

ATLAS NOW: Extrapolating from the early exit polls...

[Bootes Void]

50% of voters chose coronavirus, racial issues and health care policy as their priorities. Not bad for Dems

[AncestralDemocrat.]

Every major political analyst - "ignore the exit polls".

Atlas user - "that's the ballgame".

Republicans are turning out! It will be close either way but this isn't something that is going Bidens way. We'll know within about 7 hours.

Coronavirus is bringing a pain in Northern Florida specially. And Northern Florida uses to vot heavily GOP.

[Vaccinated Russian Bear]

I would see that exit poll as a huge warning sign for Biden if I didn't know to take all exit polls this year with a truckload of salt.

Each year.

48% think our containment is going well? HUH?

Early exit polls are wonky but if this *is* true, wtf?

It makes sense when you think about it. The sorts of people who think voting in person is totally fine right now - or, put another way, didn't opt to 'play it safe' by voting in absentia - are probably going to believe the COVID pandemic is not so serious.

[ηєω ƒяσηтιєя]

48% think Covid response is going well? What planet are these people on?

Dude, most ED voters are Trump supporters. Also, EXIT POLLS THIS YEAR ARE MEANINGLESS.

That's not good news for Trump. It would be if >50% thought the economy was the most important.

[Kuumo]

More inconclusive exit polls that tell us next to nothing.

Excellent.

I see we are overreacting to exit polls after we all discussed about not overreacting to exit polls

Bad for Trump.

By the way, these voters will be the first who will be laid off in a Biden recession.

The exit poll for Florida is slanted...

37R / 30D / 33I

We can tell based on the turnout that that is not true.

Very similar results to this. Many Countries (e.g. Spain, France, Belgium) where Government approval over the Issue is very low and with very high death and infection rates, still think it has been handled well. Because Federal Government handling is only one thing people consider, state/regional/local Government, and community handling/solidarity, which people witness in their daily lives, also play a role. So this does not translate directly to a good response for Trump.

There's no way to stop it honestly. Its just gonna happen.
