So, about that CNN Exit Poll...

What the hell was going on with that garbage? I just don't understand how they could be so far off in an exit poll. Margin is 22 points now. It probably will drop some but no way it gets anywhere close to 4. Will probably stay in double digits.

They only reported a breakdown of demographics. CNN Said according to their exit poll Hillary was up only 52/48 and the race was too close to call gat the time, they have since called it for Hillary).
