James Pindell (via Jim Geraghty) points out that Manchester results come in first, and that's Hillary's stronghold. That doesn't mean that the expected Obama blowout is still going to happen, though.

Add in the response-bias issues that exit pollsters are vulnerable to, and you can see that the "prior estimate" numbers are only a rough guide to what's going to happen.
