I can see a CNN exit poll question....

Do you think Trump is the best President ever?

Okay they said no, mark that as one against Trump.

So what your saying is that this isn't the election of Moore or Jones, this is an Alabama referendum on President T-Rump.....

I have a question?

Why are they voting on approval ratings?

I have no idea. It is interesting if accurate though. Maybe Trump's unpopularity will drag Moore down.

A more accurate explanation is probably reporting bias.....

If Jones was kicking Moore's ass in exit polling they would be directly reporting it as quickly as they could.......... (much like the west coast polls closing on election day and they were automatically placed in the Clinton camp)

This does not bode well for Jones....

I dont think they are allowed to ascribe votes to the candidates themselves until the polls close. Even in the exit polls.  In about 20 minutes they will be able to say more.

They don't ask them flat out "who did you vote for"?

Actually, yes they do..... and usually, people leaving the polling place only respond about 2.5% of the time to exit pollers.

And no, they can't say anything until the polls are officially closed.

If 48% of Alabamans disapprove of Trump , they (the Republicans) will be in trouble everywhere from now until Trump is gone.

I don't know how many people respond, but exit polls have been pretty accurate over the years.

Donald Trump is and will be an eternal embarrassment to this country.

I didnt say you are an embarrassment, I said Trump is. 

Not knowing you, I don't know what you are.

Sounds like a disaster in the making. If not today, then soon. 

Also - CNN exit poll shows 30% of electorate today was black. If that turns out to be accurate Jones may win.

Actually, what I heard on the 3:00pm ABC news blurb was they were expecting 30% turnout, low yes, but high for a special election which is usually even lower than an off year election......

The only other thing they would say was they were noticing, more young people and blacks at the voting stations than usual...... (which of course they opined was a favorable thing for Jones)

They should've asked how many people think CNN is fake news. Not that they would've reported it.

One thing I do know, if Exit polling shows Jones winning you will know about it almost instantaneously from the media.

If Moore is winning in exit polling, it's going to take all night to get the call...

No one wants to be left in the starting gate. They will all call the race as fast as they can.

Of course all of this is speculation. The last I heard the race was too close to call.  But we should know the results of the actual voting before long. And that's what really counts, not the polls.

Looks like Moore will win.

No one can be surprised at what Trump cult members will do. If it were a purple state it would be a shock, in a brainwashed place like Alabama it isnt a surprise at all. 

Evangelical Christians are the heart of the Trump cult.
