No raw numbers but exit polls are showing that that corruption was the #1 issue for voters. 62% voted on national issues versus 33% on local issues.

1. Corruption
2. Terrorism
3. Economy
4. Iraq

All were very close.

In addition, a majority of voters said that both Democrats and Republicans were capable of defending against terrorism - a big switch from 2004.

I thought maybe there'd be more exciting information leaked.

[Mr. Morden]

CNN is discussing exit poll internals.  More to follow....

[MHS2002]

They are talking about these polls on CNN.

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

The thing is, they allowed people to pick many choices from a laundry list rather than allowing only one, defining issue. While Iraq may be first for 30% of the population, it may not even make the top three for most of the rest of the population. Same goes for all of the other issues.

I am not arguing the questions, I am doubting the results.  If the exit poll were limitied to a single state like OH, then I could believe those results.  But nationwide?  I highly doubt it.

Sounds like Allen will lose.  That's the vibe Sean Hannity is giving.

[Mr. Morden]

CNN confirms the numerical breakdown of the top four issues that jfern posted, with corruption being 1st.  The talking heads are saying that it doesn't mean that much because the voters were simply asked if the issue was "extremely important", not if it's their top issue.

If Allen loses, the GOP will probably lose the Senate.

[poughies]

I disagree..... Allen I think will lose.... that said, I think Chafee has got a really good shot.... Montana looks democratic as well...... Chafee might save the senate...

Probably, but RI and MO still have to go in the Dem's favor, plus Montana (which I think will be easier).

If Chafee saves the Senate, that would be so ironic.

If Chafee saves the Senate, that would be so ironic.

And if Chafee were to switch parties after he won and swing the balance back to the Democrats after the Republican Senatorial Committee helped him win, that would be the ultimate in irony.  Or backstabbing, I'm not sure which.

[Inks.LWC Supports Chuck Hagel]

I hate to be a party pooper, but I'm still working the campaign here in MI, so somebody PM me the instant that the exit polls are released.  I DON'T have time to stay on.  G2g

Question--

How in the world is it that fewer than 50% identified corruption, Iraq, the economy and terrorism as a "top issue"?  You'd think they'd all be much higher.

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

voters were simply asked if the issue was "extremely important", not if it's their top issue.

ok, i misread it

Didn't notice that it all added up to a lot more than 100%?

nope.  But now that I understand it, I don't tell me a whole lot.

Oh, wow, real (or fake) exit polls. Seeing as not everyone has voted yet, they're not so reliable, but here they are sorted by margin for Dem

NJ 8
VA 7
RI 7
MT 7
OH 6
PA 5
MO 2 (CRITICAL SEAT)
TN -3
AZ -4

If these preliminary results are correct, it all comes down to Missouri.

Right now the GOP Senate odds are holding steady at 68%.
