Edited sentence: In the 2004 election, pre-adjustment NEP exit poll results were leaked onto the Internet during Election Day via CNN and other web pages.NEP assumes the election results are accurate and adjusts the exit poll to match actual results.These leak results indicated Kerry would beat Bush by over 3 percent, but Bush's margin in the actual vote count was 2 percent, a greater than 5 percent discrepancy
