The official Election night results thread.

 

CNN Exit Polls -

68% top issue economy.

New Voters are going 72-27 for Obama.

 

Drudge Exit leak - 58 Senate seats for Democrats.

 

First polls close in 19 minutes!

Heading straight home and popping on the tv.

EXIT POLLS CLAIM 'OBAMA +15' IN PA... DEVELOPING...

And...BAM! Polls closing in Most of Indiana, Kentucky.

I think the exit polls will slant pro-Democrat. But I still predict a 7% win for Obama in popular vote and large electoral college win.

Cynthia McKinney takes it.

I think the "Unweighted" exit polls certainly will. Which is of course, the garbage everyone winds up posting early.

 

Broken down by categories and eventually normalized, that will be useful data.

Cynthia McKinney takes it.

 

I can't believe no one thought she would take Kentucky.

Heading straight home and popping on the tv.

At first I thought this said pooping and I wtfed.

Will results come in right away, or does that have to wait a bit?

McCain up early in Kentucky.

I started a thread a few weeks ago about Mark Kirk vs. Dan Seals, went to vote today, and they weren't even on my ballot.

These polls are NOT accurite until poll close. Often they are not weighted. Drudge has done this before.

CNN has Indiana reporting now.

I've said it before, with regards to the exit polls.... do NOT trust the "leaks". However, when you see them posted at MSNBC or CNN, they are fairly accurate. The Democratic primaries were pretty close to dead on. And 2004 was pretty good too.

CNN has Indiana reporting now.

They start reporting, but the whole state doesnt close until 6 central and that is when they will make projections and release exit polls.

Howard Fineman reports that the "outside" Rev. Wright ads may have energized black turnout in PA.

What, did they do an exit poll question on Rev. Wright? Otherwise they're just talking out of their rears.

Some of the early, more rural, hell let's call them "Hillary" counties in Indiana are coming in fairly close or even with a reasonable Obama lead. Vigo county, on the IL border, is half reported and it's at 57/42 Obama. This will be the last time in my life I ever think about Vigo county, Indiana.

 

If it's anywhere close when the boom from NW IND and Marion county comes in, then Indiana will be blue. McCain needs to run up the score in the rural counties.

CNN is saying that McCain's White Evangelical percentage is lagging behind Bush's 2004 take by 6 points.

CNN is saying that McCain's White Evangelical percentage is lagging behind Bush's 2004 take by 6 points.

While that's an interesting number, it's hard to take without a context...i.e. is it lagging because they're voting Obama, is it lagging because of turnout, is it lagging in specific regions. Etc.

I'd like to note, if memory serves, the first 2 states called in 2004 were Indiana and Kentucky, both happening about 10 minutes from now.
