CNN major issues for voters as exit polled

[BelgianMadCow]

the major issues people voted on, according to their exit polling were :
1) CORRUPTION
2) Social Security On edit : nope, was terrorism, must have heard security and attached the social...
3) The economy
4) Iraq

People could choose more than one, they each had from 40 -37% of people saying it was on their mind.

ONLY 10 mins later in the news headlines, CNN states major issues were The economy, illegal immigration and IRAQ. WHERE tf did the corruption go? And extra they added there are major ballot issues such as abortion heating up the race.

Is this why they cannot speak about the exit polls? Needs reframing first.

:puke:

1. And who tried to privatize Social Security?

This is still looking good. At least to me.

[BelgianMadCow]

6. yes reality is still looking good

Of the issues mentioned, only "terror" can be thought to bring something for the repubs. And I think that one is worn out.

But the re-do was another story.

11. And why are coverup Dems ignoring the Anti-Corruption, Open government wing

of the party?

[BelgianMadCow]

13. ummm..something about "same through" comes to mind

after HUGH scandals over here in the 80's we totally abolished donations to campaigns from corporations.
I just think the financing of parties a campaigns in the US sucks bigtime. Money lures many and lobbying is totally out of control.

Which is all the more reason to fight for what is right. By the people, for the people.

3. I thought # 2 was terrorism...

That's the one that I saw. Social security wasn't even on the list earlier.

5. Think you are right, I forgot that one

but am pretty sure SS was in the list as well.

9. What happened to morals????

Wasn't that the MSM 2004 talking point? :eyes:

[BelgianMadCow]

10. Well, hearing that corruption was N° 1, and it is wholly repub owned,

I think people are voting based on morals this time around.

Corruption is proof positive of lacking morals and throwing your oath to the wind.

Hence my OP as CNN sanitized the corruption out in 10 mins.

12. MYDD.com's take

http://www.mydd.com/story/2006/11/7/172448/134

More: Voters diapprove of Congress by a 36-62 margin. The exit polls seems to be of key Senate races--not sure if this is a national poll or not.

Yet More: I was looking at a CNN poll from mid-October that asked voters a battery of issues, and if they were "important" to them or not. Bascially, every issue came out as "important." I think this is the same type of question they asked here, and thus I think the issue exit poll information that has been released so far has been useless.

15. Keith O on NBC has picked up CORRUPTION again

héhéhé

quoting AP relying on exit polls.
