Were exit polls for Senate and Governor races also doctored?
I haven't heard anything about this. Are there any studies out there about the accuracy of those exit polls? Does anyone have election night data for Senate and Governor races?

I have use for this info if I can track it down.

1. The Repugs want all the slots they can get. I wouldn't doubt it.

2. Don't expect many replies to a common sense thread like this

In fact, I wrote to that Pennsylvania professor several months ago, the same guy who proposed the quadrillion to one odds, or whatever, on the exit polls being innacurate, and I asked the identical question you pose here. Along with several other points, like the relationship between state/national tendencies in past elections compared to what he was asserting should have been the relationship this year, based on those exit polls he was embracing.

Guess what? Not a peep of a reply. Absolutely shocking. Just another numbers nitwit who is baffled and easily trumped with a meager dose of applied common sense.
