[soundchaser]

The Fox poll was right.

How does this not discredit the exit poll, if anything?

[Vaccinated Russian Bear]

Wat

Yeah I question the validity of these early exits strongly

Also recalled 2020 vote choice was 46-46 Trump-Biden

Ouch.
Yeah, bin it.

People are embarrassed, they voted for Joe

Or the exit poll has an extremely skewed sample.

Told y'all. Maybe Youngkin has a big win, but either way don't pay attention to early exit polls.

Well, they are new info, Atlas posters take to them like cats do to catnip.
But an incomplete exit poll that...has 57% gun owners (if there was any state that would skew things, it would be VA), 46-46 2020 recalled vote (in a Biden+10 state), and a *73%* white sample, it's just not good to base literally anything on.

Maybe the logic there is that maybe this implies that a decent portion of Biden voters didn't vote in this race or something? IDK...But yeah I'm more on the opinion that these exit polls are worth about as much as bad quality paper.

If Youngkin doesn't win there are going to be a whole lot of angry blue avatars on here. They are boosting themselves up for a landslide that might not even happened based on an early exit poll.

And even if he does win you won't see Democrats threatening violence or demanding audits. That is the difference between the parties.

Or these are E-day voters. And as expected, much more R than early voting.

There's plenty of embarrassment to go around amongst Atlas election analysts regardless of how this turns out.

I predict that if Mcauliffe loses, Democrats will learn exactly 0 lessons about the types of candidates they run in these elections. No one—and I mean no one—should be losing a gubernatorial race in a state where the Presidential candidate from their party won by 10% less than a year ago.

[Big Abraham]

So in his last pitch McAuliffe had nothing more to say than "Trump bad" and kept bringing up Youngkin's Trump endorsement. Youngkin actually spent his last pitch talking about his policies.

No.  we are playing with house money.  We would have never expected a Republican to win the Virginia governorship 2 months ago.

Sad but true really.

So we have gone from a decisive MacDaddy win to a YoungKing landslide.

Early turnout reports and/or exit polls are fantastic and accurate when they support my narrative/what I want to happen, and completely anecdotal and not trustworthy when they don't.

[BigSerg]

Yeahhhhh

Unfortunately, because of these exit polls I can already see people on the right calling the election rigged If Youngkin doesn't win

[SnowLabrador]

If McAuliffe loses, we need to burn the DNC to the ground. This party is so incompetent!

[LAB-LIB]

So in his last pitch McAuliffe had nothing more to say than "Trump bad" and kept bringing up Youngkin's Trump endorsement. Youngkin actually spent his last pitch talking about his policies.

And that's why McAuliffe is losing. It would've helped if Democrats passed most of their agenda though too.

G-d help us when it ends up being a 50/50 recount territory race.

No, I think it's the other way around. The Democrats will place all the blame on the candidate and ignore the fact that he was just a generic stand-in for their party and what it stands for. McAuliffe is not Roy Moore, so therefore his defeat can't all be placed on him. A rejection of McAuliffe is a rejection of the most generic form of 2021's Democratic Party.
