First round of exit polls show economy big concern (unemployment, voters, kids)

You mean dancing vaginas aren't the top priority to voters? I'm SHOCKED!



According to the first round of very incomplete exit polling, the economy drove the vote for 60% of respondents:

The survey of voters as they leave polling places Tuesday shows 6 in 10 voters say the economy is the top issue facing the nation, with unemployment and rising prices hitting voters hard.

And they’re not happy about it, either:

About 4 in 10 say they think the nation’s economy is on the mend, but more say that things are getting worse or are bad and stagnating.

The big kicker? Only 25% of respondents think they’re better off than four years ago.




If this type of exit polling holds true throughout tonight and throughout America...it's President Romney!

it shouldn't because we're being told that all is well, UE is down, hundreds of thousands of jobs are being created, consumer confidence is soaring.

Are the talking heads all wrong ?

It will only swing more towards Romney as Republicans get out of work and go vote.

When my kids got their first chance to vote, they were away at college so I could have that opportunity.
