It never fails. The media will trumpet Barack Obama's lead ALL DAY LONG based on exit polls....and then quite literally the numbers will begin to change around 5pm. And then they'll act surprised that the exit polls were wrong. It happens every election. Anyone wanna take a stab why so many Democrats are able to vote at 1030 am....115pm....230pm?
I predict that if Mitt wins, the stock market will go up. This usually happens when a Republican is elected president. This bump is only for right after the election. If Obama wins, I expect the stock market to either remain the same or take a dip.
As for the OPs prediction, I've seen this too. Early polling always seem to show Democratic Party candidate in an early lead and then the Republican candidate makes a quick jump in the number of votes in the late afternoon/early evening which is usually when most people get off of work.
