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.

corruption?  instead of iraq or the economy?  i don't think so

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 don't buy it

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.

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

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%? Tongue

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