FL-18 probably went for Obama by a hair.  Im pretty sure NY-11 switched to Obama/Republican, as Obama actually carried the Staten Island part of the district(he lost it in 2008).  I think NJ-05 also switched to Obama/Republican.  MI-07 may also be Obama/Republican.  Walberg wildly underperformed against a nobody again.  I think TX-23 went to Obama again by a hair.  Obama did about the same as he did in 2008 in this area.  FL-13(Bill Young) is also a likely Obama/Republican district.  VA-02 is possible to as an Obama/Republican district.  

WI-07 was also probably an Obama/Republican seat.

It actually looks like Obama still might have carried a narrow majority of the nations Congressional districts, even as he only won the popular vote by two points.  Wouldnt have expected this.  

[Seattle]

It is possible that WA-3 voted for Obama, though slim. It comes down to how high Romney runs in Lewis county.

[Talleyrand]

I heard that Carol Shea-Porter won even as Mitt Romney won the New Hampshire's 2nd district. Does anyone know if this is true?

FL-13 has leaned D for the last few cycles Presidentially. It's a deadly trap that lures promising politicians into attempting to challenge Bill Young; they are subsequently slaughtered.

Democrats just need him to retire and then they would have at least a 50/50 shot at picking up that seat.

That's what Democrats said about TN-08.  "Oh we've got hugely popular State Senator Roy Herron who holds a state Senate district in the most Republican part of the district, we'll easily hold that one".  He lost by 20 points to a gospel singer.

completely different circumstance. Young's district at worst is like D+2. The Tanner district was more like R+10. Plus, Herron ran in a wave year. He probably would have won in 06 or 08 when they were still loyal dem downballot.

Added. VA-02 looks quite plausible (Romney won Virginia Beach slightly, but its 4k votes either way). I don't think WI-07 is below 51% Romney unless you have actual numbers.

The 2008 Presidential result simply reflected how much the district hated Obama, not other Democrats.  I would have imagined that Hillary Clinton probably would have carried the district or come close if she was the nominee in 2008.  The district actually had an even PVI in 2004 and was around D+3 in 2000.

Yep, just figured out WI-07, it was 51%-48% Romney.  Under the old lines, it would have been about 51%-48% Obama.  

VA-02 should be a real Dem target in the future.  Perhaps Glenn Nye would give it another go?  

PA-08 went for Obama 50%-49% or 1,183 votes.  Democrats desperately need a better candiate here.  Maybe Patrick Murphy will be back.  

PA-06 goes 52%-47% Romney.  Interesting that Romney did about as well as Bush here.  

PA-07 is very close.  50%-49% Romney and by about 5,000 votes.   That little, overwhelmingly section of Lancaster provides 90% of his margin.  

PA-15 goes 51%-48% Romney.  

MI-06 goes 50%-49% for Romney.  

MI-07 goes 51%-48% Romney.  

MI-08 goes 51%-48% Romney.  

AZ-09 looks like a 49%-49% tie, although late counting is more likely to tip it further in Obama's direction.

AZ-02 is currently 50%-48% Romney, but late counting could tip it to Obama.

AZ-01 went for Romney 51%-47%, but the margin could close as late balloting continues.  

Pretty sure CO-06 is another Obama/Republican district.  As the state and Jefferson county goes, so does that district.  

MN-01 went 49%-48% for Obama.  

MN-02 is a 49%-49% tie, with Romney coming out ahead by 1,000 votes.  

MN-03 is 50%-48% Romney. 

[Miles]

MN-07 should be Romney/Democrat Confirmed. There were quite a few rural counties that switched over to Romney.

[krazen1211]

Phips, this is what someone on RRH calculated for PA-08:

Montgomery
Romney: 22,204, Obama: 17,919

Bucks
Romney: 155,876, Obama: 159598



Also, there isn't any of Jefferson in CO-06. It would be very close either way as Romney and this one needs to be carefully checked.

[krazen1211]

I just rechecked Minnesota 3rd and Obama seems to have won the Hennepin portion by 7000 votes.

[Mr.Phips]

Phips, this is what someone on RRH calculated for PA-08:

Montgomery
Romney: 22,204, Obama: 17,919

Hmm, I have Montco as 19223 Romney to 16684 Obama.  What I do is take the PVI from the 2008 numbers and use a uniform swing based on the county as a whole.  Probably not the most accurate way to do it, but it gets me close. 

PA-08 may be the only Kerry-Romney district in the country. 

[JoeyJoeJoe]

Romney/Democrat Confirmed:


MI-07 may also be Obama/Republican.  Walberg wildly underperformed against a nobody again.  

Does Walberg ever not underperform?  Why he got a pass this year is a mystery to me.

[nclib]

FL-26 is a possibility.

[Mr.Phips]

FL-26 is a possibility.

No, Obama did really well among Cubans, significantly better than in 2008.  Obama probably carried that one by a good margin. 

[krazen1211]

Minnesota results by congressional district.

  R       D       O
1  165714  170381   9170   48.00  49.35
2  184571  184802   8496   48.85  48.91

IL-6, IL-14 - Any chance Romney lost these districts?

[Mr.Phips]

Found another Obama/Republican district, NY-02.  Obama 52%, Romney 47%.  Sandy bump?
