ABC showing Obama won white working-class voters in Pennsylvania 52/47... considering how much McCain spent in both time and money on that state, that is a huge loss.

Ouch!
 
[quote author="skek" date=1225876496]ABC is rumored to be calling Pennsylvania for Obama as soon as the polls close.</blockquote>


Penn? Huh?
 
[quote author="skek" date=1225876819]Hmmm, I'm hearing rumors that Sununu has lost. If so, Dems +3 in the Senate.



Virginia data I'm seeing now looks really, really ugly for McCain.</blockquote>




<a href="http://abcnews.go.com/politics/elections/?category=Virginia">ABC </a> is showing McCain leading 55% to 42% with 30% of precincts reporting. What are you seeing?
 
[quote author="skek" date=1225877121][quote author="Nude" date=1225876846]I think the economy pushed undecideds over to Obama.</blockquote>


Not the economy, it was a recent high profile endorsement that put Obama over the top. I think when they heard you voted for Obama, they all fell in line behind you. Don't underestimate the reach of IHB.</blockquote>
You owe me a new keyboard.

Exit poll data:



Obama is leading in every geographic area, with the exception of the southwest.



McCain is winning big with evangelical Christians ? 78 to 21. Problem is, they make up only 27 percent of the electorate. Among those who do not identify themselves as evangelicals, Obama is winning 66 to 33.



Obama appears to be winning with every level of education. Among high-school graduates, 57-42. Among some college, 55-43. Among college graduates, 52-47. Among graduate study, 54-45.



Obama is up in most income groups. Among the six percent of the Virginia electorate who make less than $15k, Obama leads 81-17. Among those who make between $30k and $50k, the lead is 56-43. Among $50k to $75k, it's 57-43. Among $75-$100k, it's 51-49. Among $100k to $150k, it's 50-47. Among $150k to $200k, McCain leads 56-43, and among the seven percent of voters who make more than $200k, McCain leads 51-49.



McCain is underperforming Bush '04 in nearly every category, and Virginia has trended blue since 2004.</blockquote>


I tend not to put much faith in the exit polls. Hopefully my lack of faith is warranted. We need VA.
