I think it is exit polls and presumptive on the electoral based on the exits. the thing they are not taking into account with exit polls is that the electoral can vote any way they see fit regardless of popular vote.

Also, exit polls don't hit all districts and districts are very biased. My district is more rural being a suburb of tampa and I see much more support for McCain, whereas, the more urban areas of tampa openly support McCain.
