There are a lot of polls that are oversampling Democrats (vs. reasonable expectations). I am just pointing out complete outliers, where the sample is substantially more favorable to Dems that 2008 exit polls.

I don't think anyone expects Dems to do anywhere close to 2008. For number of reasons:

Dem candidate (Obama 2012) is far worse that Obama 2008.
GOP candidate Romney is far better than McCain.

Economy in 2008 was horrible, GOP was to blame based on the conventional wisdom.
Economy in 2012 is poor, but Dems are to blame this time.

So any sample more favorable to Dems that 2008 exit polls is just a pure fantasy, in no way connected to reality...

PS: I just found exit poll from Florida in 2010. One notable item (in addition to tie by party ID):

By race, Whites
2010: 74%
PPP: 64%

cbsnews.com

So PPP has a whoper here in this poll...
