Latino Exit Polling Wrong, Corrected towards Kerry
By Karl-Thomas Musselman
NBC goes oops.
In a stunning admission, an elections manager for NBC News said national news organizations overestimated President George W. Bush's support among Latino voters, downwardly revising its estimated support for President Bush to 40 percent from 44 percent among Hispanics, and increasing challenger John Kerry's support among Hispanics to 58 percent from 53 percent.
The revision doubles Kerry's margin of victory among Hispanic voters from 9 to 18 percent. Ana Maria Arumi, the NBC elections manager also revised NBC's estimate for Hispanic support for Bush in Texas, revising a reported 18-point lead for Bush to a 2-point win for Kerry among Hispanics, a remarkable 20-point turnaround from figures reported on election night.

So where oh where did another 4 million votes come from? Not from Latino or Blacks, then maybe Asians, Jews, Women or Democrats. Lost the Popular Vote by 500K in 2000, a divided electorate, a 50/50 nation, and our President wins 50.85% to 48.23%. We're not that divided now are we? More state governments, more Governors, more House members, Senators, the White House, 68% of U.S. sleeps under Republican rule. Going to get more next year.
SOOOOO Latino exit polling wrong. The vote hasn't changed. Big headlines, I'm going back to sleep.
I woke up again. Where are the other networks standing in this matter? These exit polls were done for six major networks. This looks like smoke without a fire right now. Get another network to confirm then maybe we have a fire. I thought y'all always got two sources before publishing. This single source doesn't fly too well. You know,let's jump on NBC because they say what we want to hear.
