I'll believe it when I see it, especially coming from Drudge.

Drudge wouldn't lie about it.  He probably has access to tomorrow's Washington Post right now.  In some places, you can get an early edition of the Sunday paper on Saturday night.

He lied about exit polls during the primary.

This isn't an early exit poll, which Joe Public never sees.  It is a very verifiable poll that will be released for all to see shortly after midnight.  There is very little reason to lie about it.  He would be proven wrong.

Then why doesnt he just post the numbers?

All non-political geeks care about is the margin.  We care about more than that, but we're atypical.

Why doesnt he just post the topline if he has it?

Who knows?  Maybe he just has the WaPo headline, not the actual paper.  Maybe he thinks it's too inside baseball and nobody cares.  Maybe he doesn't want to burn his source at the Washington Post.

I doubt Drudge would lie about it, though.  He'd end up looking bad.

I ain't seeing sh*t on Drudge.

look on the little headlines in the top-left corner.

still developing since there will be nothing until tomorrow.

Tomorrow is just about 1.25 to 1.5 hours away, if the times the WaPo has released the poll in the past is any indication.

are those numbers usually officially shared before the morning shows?

ABC News/Washington Post numbers usually are.  They usually drop on the WaPo website around 12:15AM-12:30AM Eastern time.  That gives the Washington Post time to print the results in their Sunday editions.
