    The first early exit polls of the 2016 presidential election have arrived.

    According to a survey conducted by POLITICO, voters are going into the polling booth today wanting a stronger leader than they have in previous elections.

    Asked what characteristic is most important for the next president, 36 percent of voters say they want a “strong leader,” 29 percent want “a vision for the future,” 16 percent want someone who “cares about people like me” and another 16 percent said they want someone who “shares my values.”

    The percentage of voters thus far who say they want a strong leader – a characterization Donald Trump’s team made central to his campaign – is twice the percentage who said they were looking for a strong leader in the 2012 National Election Pool exit poll.

    It's important to keep in mind early exit polls often change throughout the day, especially as voters head to the polls after work hours later in the day.

    While Morning Consult and POLITICO are surveying voters throughout the day, the organizations will not release any data that directly characterize the potential outcome of the election.

    So far according to Politico and Morning Consult its about having a strong leader. Not shared values.

    Note, it doesn't say who those people think who is a strong leader than past Elections. Why are you doubting Politico?

    But since you think the Right needs every bit of hope. Lets start it off with just a little bit, okay? A little dab will do ya.....Right?


    In a yearly tradition, voters in three small New Hampshire towns cast the first votes of the election at midnight, with 35 ballots going to Republican Donald Trump, and 22 to Democrat Hillary Clinton.....snip~

    I have no horse in this race. So I don't really care.

    Are you gonna be online this evening if the polls are correct, and Hill Dog wins?

    Me personally, I hope the race is so close, but Hill Dog wins. That way I can have the extreme comedy of Trump saying the elections are rigged and not concede the election and drag this out for weeks! Can you imagine the comedy gold in that?!?!

    Nate Silver: Risk of Polling Error Much Higher Than Usual.....


    “Undecideds are MUCH higher than normal,” Nate Silver, of Five Thirty Eight said in a Tuesday morning tweet. “So risk of a polling error — in either direction — is higher than usual.”

    One out of eight voters, or 12.5 percent, are either undecided or declaring support for other candidates during the last few days of the election. That is up from one out of 32 voters in 2012, one out of 27 voters in 2004 and one out of 10 voters in 2000, when Texas Gov. George W. Bush barely beat Vice-President Al Gore.....snip~

    Well, that will throw a wrench in the MS Medias polling, huh?

    Haven't broken my record of NOT voting D or R for president yet. D and R candidates are OK at the more local levels, but nationally I think it's time to, er, drain the swamp. On both sides.

    I'm not a fan of either but I think if either was going to have any prayer (or desire) of "draining the swamp" it would have been Trump.

    There is no comedy in people electing a criminal, corrupt democrat, or as wilkileaks and others have revealed, a democratic party that is antidemocratic on top of being totally corrupting of a democratic republic.

    I am supporting stein, but cannot deny that trump is the lessor evil here, due to what the evidence now shows Clinton to be. And unlike Clinton, at least trump talks like he will represent the working and middle class by taking on open borders free trade, this newest scheme from the elites and their puppets to create as much income and wealth disparity as possible along with their very lucrative perpetual war for perpetual peace, profits generated for them by the death, blood and suffering of the non elites who they use as cannon fodder.

    I accept this may sound like a nuclear option, but I think reporting on exit polls should be forbidden until ALL polls are closed, PERIOD.

    Well, I've seen a lot of Trump signs out lately. Maybe Minnesota will surprise this year and go for Trump. Who knows?

    Keep hope alive son. Can't wait until 10 pm. You'll probably go away then.
