11. Ah but they did
"For what I know, exit polls may be off 1 or 2 points, as you said, but they will NEVER state the opposite of the actual vote tally, that is giving the largest percentages to the LOSER of the election."

In 1988 according to this avowedly Democratic source:

http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2004_11/005178.php

the exit polls predicted Dukakis win by 50.3% over Bush's 49.7%. The exit polls were wrong - Bush won by 7.7%.

Never say "NEVER".
