The Volokh Conspiracy - CNN hinting that the exit polls favor Democrats.--

As I interpret what CNN is saying, it appears that CNN is hinting that the exit polls just released to the networks favor the Democrats.

Because the exit polls were so inaccurate the last time around, I think that people will rightly take them with more than a grain of salt.

5:25pm: Ken Mehlman (R) on FOX says that he has not heard any leaks on the exit polls, but that one of the other networks has been hinting at results. Mehlman says that the Republican voter turnout effort is going slightly better for them than in 2004.

5:30pm: CNN just said that one exit poll question regarding general disapproval of Congress boded ill for the Republicans' retaining control of the House. I considered that a strong hint that the exit polling favored the Democrats taking control of the House.
