With polls closing in just about three hours, exit polls conducted by TurlockCityNews.com are showing some tight-knit races, with others putting distance between themselves and their opponents.

As of 4 p.m., 77 Turlock voters have taken TurlockCityNews.com’s exit poll at several locations around Turlock, including the Salvation Army, Our Lady of Peace, Oak Park Apartments, Turlock Unified School District building, Cornerstone Covenant Church, among other.

The Turlock City Council race, which has five candidates vying for two seats, is currently in a tight race between the two incumbents and a newcomer, who leads according to exit polling.

Matthew Jacob currently leads the Council race with 32.2 percent (40 of 124 votes), with incumbents Bill DeHart and Forrest White battling for the second spot with 30 votes, or 24.2 percent, each. Donald Babadalir is behind with 14 votes, or 11.3 percent, and Sergio Alvarado is at 10 votes, or 8.1 percent.

The top-two vote-getters from the City Council race will win the two seats.

In the Mayoral race, Gary Soiseth has extended his lead over Mike Brem, with exit polls showing Soiseth receiving 61.8 percent of the 76 votes; Brem is at 38.2 percent.

Measure B, the half-cent sales tax dedicated to Turlock roads, is not passing according to TurlockCityNews.com exit polls. The tax has received 41 yes votes of the total 72 casted by surveyors, giving it a 56.9 percent. A two-thirds, or 66.7 percent, approval vote is need for the tax to pass.

Little has changed since the early exit polls results, other than Jacob taking DeHart as the top Council vote-getter.

    I can’t believe this site got blamed for making Jacob look bad but now they’re promoting him by putting his name in the title as a leader. This could influence how people vote. Is this website bias or not? I can’t figure it out.

    Of course Soiseth is winning and Measure B is failing. DJ campaigned for both results because of his person bias and he used Turlock City News to do it.

    Tcn has lost all credibility and has not journalistic integrity.

    Putting a candidate’s name in a headline is not the same as promoting or endorsing them. They are by no means showing bias. They would be showing bias if they said one was better than another (as is obviously not the case).

    News organization usually wait until polls close to post results. TCN is reporting the results bad on the results of their exit polling not a bias. I’m impressed they didn’t spin it for a favored candidate.

    Everyone who said this site was bias for advertisers and attacked anyone who didn’t advertise must be pulling their foot out their mouth now. I believe I see Jacob in the title and they could have easily waited for Dehart to be on the lead. I thinks Jacob was making people think TCN was bad because he doesn’t want to have to answer to a newspaper. Sometimes the churchy people are the worst and lie the most.

    This is amazing that the standings ended up being true to this exit polling.

    On Facebook some people were accusing this site of showing a false perception and saying some money give away for taking the survey after voting was also contributing to the perception. I think the person was called a troll for saying this title should be Tcn paying $100 to say they voted for Soiseth or something similar.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the election coverage from Tcn this time around.

    Congratulations on your community service achievements!
