According to Faux News Exit polls, Santorum is winning Dems, but Romney is winning Indies?

Does that match the polls?

They had their exits up on on the screen, of Democrats voting (10% of the vote) Santorum was winning 50%, Paul in second and Romney was third with about 15% I think.
Then they put up the Indies. I didn't see what percent of the vote they made up, I think about 35% but they had Romney with about 35, and Santorum with about 33. I may have the exact numbers wrong, but Romney was up by about 2 and winning.
Is that what the polls had said about Indies?
TIA

That might be enough to give him a win.

Just makes crap up? If they printed an exit poll, and said, "YES, this is absolutely accurate and true..." my first thought would be,

....Yeah. Right!!!
