If you don't mind me asking where in the US are you? How is it looking where you are?

That's CNN News 18 not CNN itself which from the 18 in the name suggests it could be a dodgy Trump outfit

Afaik, it's co-owned by Warner Bros and CNN.

Didn't realise it wasn't the parent CNN, so if anyone feels it's dodgy, I can delete the post.

Watching 'The Rest is Politics' livestream... pretty good so far.. - better than much of the General Election night coverage on the main channels..

 

[belboid]

right, footy over. That went quite well. Moves down the left kept leading to goals and the worst of the capitalist organisations took one hell of a beating, so I am now more optimistic.

It's not the beer I've started on, honest guv

Presumably no actual exit polls till something like 2 am?

Or do they do them before polls close??

My lot won tonight as well, which I needed after we got creamed by Watford.

no, now!

I read on the Guardian that the first state would be around 10pm UK time?

I may have misread one of the CNN onscreen graphics. No, here it is!

NBC exit polls

NBC News Exit Poll: Voters express deep concern about America's democracy and economy

Women are twice as likely as men to rank abortion as their top issue, according to preliminary results from the national survey.

this is well tense -- i have a bad feeling about this. trump to win in michigan and arizona seems very likely. but as ever pennsylvania is the big one. it's going to be utterly devastating if harris wins the popular vote by a + 1 million margin but still loses the EC cos of a very tight win for trump in pennsylvania

I'm confused, it's only 5 pm in New York!

 

[stethoscope]

NBC is talking about exit poll data... trust economy, trust on abortion, etc..

 

[Kaka Tim]

yeah - was thinking it was early for an exit polls. Was instantlly depressed when i saw that link!

Exit polls are usually very good at predicitng the result in the uk - not sure how accurate us ones are though.

 

[belboid]

29% of yanks are angry v 26% enthusiastic/satisfied. blah blah blah

Biden approval - 41-58

Thats fuck all use!

61% US's days are ahead of it. 34% behind. Thats quite surprising.

hmm think we all need correction cannot be called at 10 pm uk time as the first polls don't close to 6 pm est
from the guardian

The first polls tonight will close at 6 pm ET and are in the eastern counties of Indiana and Kentucky.

At 7pm ET, polls will close in Georgia, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia, parts of Florida, and the rest of Indiana and Kentucky.

Thirty minutes later, at 7:30pm ET, polls in North Carolina, Ohio and West Virginia will close.

Yeah, I'm half asleep and maybe it's all a dream/nightmare

 

[LakieLady]

fuck me he looks old

Not just old, but frail and tired, too. His eyes look like pissholes in the snow and I think he's lost weight.

Sincere apologies

 

[Ax^]

aye if only it was should not be 2024 with a repeat of this trump fuckwit

 

[belboid]

It was a wicked piece of misleading information - it was a poll, just not on the question we'e actually interested in!

Isnt there an octopus somewhere predicting the winner?

think it was a baby hippo this time picked trump

No, that was Trump

 

[Wilf]

In all that flap, I did have something open that said 'first polls close 1 hour 50'. So some eastern standard time state must have polls that close at 7 pm, with exit polls (presumably) soon after that.

I'm guessing it'll still be 'fuck knows' in the morning unless a lot of swing states have declared. It sounds like turnout is high, which is probably a positive indicator for Harris as I imagine extra people are more likely to turn out for her than they are for That Fucking Guy.
