Reply #28: semi-related question on exit polls

[pgh_dem]

now that Washington state gov's race has been recounted, with Gregoire as the winner by 100+ (as opposed to first count where she was down 500+ votes)...does that final total square better with the exit polls? In other words, razor thin with slight edge to Gregoire? Or in proportion to up-ticket races, does the switch of 600-700 votes in her favor roughly account proportionally for a 1.3% switch (back) to Kerry from Bush?
Hope I expressed this remotely answerably...stats stuff in confusing.

Numbers from http://www.exitpollz.org
