Huffpo: Exit Polls: A Pox on Both Houses
Edited on Tue Nov-02-10 04:54 PM by flpoljunkie
(This seems to tell us nothing.)
WASHINGTON (AP) – Voters around the country are intensely worried about the economy and dissatisfied with the way the federal government is working.

According to an Associated Press analysis of preliminary exit poll results and pre-election polls, voters say the economy eclipses any other issue as their top concern. Nearly all voters are worried about the future direction of the economy, and about 4 in 10 say they are worse off financially than they were two years ago.

Voters are expressing dissatisfaction with President Barack Obama and the Congress, and they don't have a favorable view of either the Democratic or Republican parties.

The preliminary results are based on Election Day and pre-election interviews with more than 9,000 voters.

2. If you're worried about the economy. Why vote for the party
Who wants to make sure nothing is done?

3. One very bad statistic: "About four out of 10 voters said they support the tea party movement"

"About four out of 10 voters said they support the tea party movement, and they overwhelmingly voted Republican."

I'm pretty sure that's way about the national average.

In September it was 19%. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20016526-503544.html

This means that the large turnout may be largely with republicans and RW extremists.

4. "Only about a quarter of voters in Tuesday's House races blamed Obama for the nation's economic
troubles. But about half think Obama's policies will hurt the country."
