Politics And Now, the Exit Polls
posted by on November 7 at 14:55 PM
According to CNN, exit polls show voters citing “corruption in Washington” as their most important issue with 62-percent saying national issues are driving their vote (as opposed to 32-percent who cite local issues).
Not good for the Republicans.
Hoping for exit poll data on specific races rather than opinion trends? So is everyone, but that’s not likely to come out until after the first polls close.
UPDATE: Senate exit poll numbers, with double super caution, from MyDD:
Democrats leading in:* VA: 52-47
* RI: 53-46
* PA: 57-42
* OH: 57-43
* NJ: 52-45
* MT: 53-46
* MO: 50-48
* MD: 53-46Republicans leading:
* TN: 51-48
* AZ: 50-46
Did you check with wonkette.com or some of the other blogs which ignore the media embargo? They should post the real numbers before Diebold gets a hold of them.
Some of them are out now.
MyDD has some.
Think Progress has CNN's early specific exits. Very promising, but very early still.
I just need to walk away from the computer, come back in three or four hours, when someone might actually know something.
Is anyone else finding it actually hard to breathe, this afternoon?
I won't be able to breathe until we get the returns on Foskett later this evening.
Now TNR's reporting the same numbers as ThinkProgress and MyDD, though claming to all come from multiple sources. Very very early, trying not to be optimistic.
Check out the headlines on Rawstory.com - interesting stuff about the GOP's tricks....
Yeah, CNN is only one source and all three blogs are reporting from that same source.
If it makes you feel better Eric, I won't get o check in again until tomorrow morning, as I have class after work tonight, and must go straight to bed afterward to get up at 5 tomorrow morning. And having been up since 3:30 am, I'm pretty sure no excitement will be able to keep me awake after class :P
Raw Story is giving very similar but slightly different numbers, which is reassuring since it seems to be a second source.
i'm unable to get anything done now. in the age of the internet and blogs, poor productivity is another reason we should all have off on election day.
here's something disturbing out of MT--the Burns campaign yanks a paper's press credentials for running a USA today poll showing Tester leading (sorry, I don't know how to do a tag)

Well, maybe I might even buy some people a Santorum when I swing by, if you know who I am. I'll try to write my "blog name" on my nametag.
Don't do this to us. Kerry was up in Ohio and Florida at this time 2 years ago.
Well, at least one person took out his anger on his Diebold voting machine and crushed it today ...
MSNBC just called PA - Santorum is OUT.
Eh, Arizona sucks anyway.
