All the pre-exit polls exactly matched the states actual results in 2008.

Yet in 2004, many of the battleground states went to Bush, even though the exit polls showed they favored Kerry.

Please explain how the 2004 exit polls were so far off ... while 2008 was 100% accurate?

In 2004, I remember lots of Bushies arguing that exit polls are never correct, and meanwhile there was a ton of statistical polling evidence saying Bush couldn't have legitimately won in 2004.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr wrote a lengthy article on the 2004 election, which detailed the many polling discrepancies.

You can read the article here:

Was the 2004 Election Stolen? : Rolling Stone

"pre exit polls" ?????????

Exit polls by definition happen on election day.

WTF are you talking about?

Pre-election polls ask who WILL you vote for. Exit polls ask who DID you vote for. There is a very big difference. Exit polls are accurate enough that many democracies use them to determine their election winners, eventually getting around to counting the actual votes only to confirm the results and to resolve too-close-to-call races. The 2004 US exit poll detail data have never been released, save for those in a few dozen precincts. Those data do still exist, however, and at some point, they will become available for analysis. Analysis of the few precincts that are available strongly suggests that official results as announced were at best highly improbable. This opens a question that future historians will be much too curious simply to walk away from...

Pre-election polls is the correct term.

Polls are polls.

In 2008 they were 100% accurate.

In 2004 they were way off .... how come ???

If a crime was committed in the November 2004 election ... doesn't it deserve an investigation?

Unfortunately for America, in 2004 the Republicans were in complete control, and they simply ignored all reports of election theft, since they would have to investigate into their own party's crimes. And that wasn't going to happen.

The corporate-controlled major news media was also told to ignore the 2004 election theft as well. Just ask some major journalists.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (nephew of JFK) chose to place his article in Rolling Stone Magazine, since it is widely read:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - Was the 2004 Election Stolen?

During the democratic nomination the exit polls were off more than any per ceantge they have ever been. It really just depends if people tell teh truth;which they often don't for whatever reason.
