Here’s the national exit poll via CNN (in all these, first column Obama, second McCain, third Misc.)
By the way, somebody should make a copy of it as it stands now because in a few hours CNN will come along and change all the exit poll splits to make them reflect the actual vote splits.
Vote by Race
— — — — — — — Obama — — McCain — — Other
White (75%) |
43% |
55% |
2% |
||
African-American (13%) |
96% |
4% |
N/A |
||
Latino (8%) |
67% |
31% |
2% |
||
Asian (2%) |
63% |
33% |
4% |
||
Other (3%) |
66% |
31% |
3% |
And here’s the famous Gender Gap, which CNN lists first out of all demographic measures:
Vote by Sex — — — — — — — Obama — — McCain — — Other
Male (47%) |
49% |
49% |
2% |
||
Female (53%) |
55% |
43% |
2% |
Vote by Marital Status
— — — — — — — Obama — — McCain — — Other
Married (66%) |
46% |
52% |
2% |
||
Unmarried (34%) |
65% |
33% |
2% |
In contrast, in 2004’s exit poll, Kerry did 7 points better among women and 17 points better among singles.
Thumbing through the demographics casually, nothing looks terribly surprising, just a broad shift to the left versus 2004, just as 2004 saw a widespread shift to the right versus 2000. Of course, some of the black vote breakdowns by state are pretty funny, with North Korean-like 98-2 ratios.
For example, here’s New York:
Vote by Race
— — — — — — — Obama — — McCain — — Other
White (71%) |
52% |
46% |
2% |
||
African-American (17%) |
100% |
0% |
N/A |
