Election 2018 Open Thread - Part 1

[Mr. Morden]

Exit poll:

[OSR stands with Israel]

Hope Scott Wins


He is by far one of the 3 best Republican candidates running this year

[Person Man]

Exit Polls

Approve: 44%
Disapprove: 55%

That’s not that bad for Republicans, considering that his approvals were in the 30s last year, IMHO.

Uh, he wasn't even in the 30s in Virginia last year, and Virginia is to the left of the country as a whole.

Yeah, he was at 43% here in VA.

So tonight could be worse!

[Pandaguineapig]

This looks pretty bad for Republicans but remember that the early exits are wrong pretty much every single time and will be adjusted as the night goes on

lol. Are you really acting like one exit poll in Virginia is more meaningful than the many, many nationwide polls of his approval?!

No, I'm saying it was unrealistic to expect him to be in the 30s, and that Dems can easily have a great night even if he isn't.

[henster]

ofc FOX is doing their own exit poll who knows when that will be released...

[Former Dean Phillips Supporters for Haley (I guess???!?) 👁️]

MSNBC says in exit poll the white vote share is same as 2008.

[Adam Griffin]

You're comparing polls of adults with polls of likely voters. Trump always does a few points better in the latter.

[Former Dean Phillips Supporters for Haley (I guess???!?) 👁️]

Missouri is 50 Approve, 49 Disapprove says MSNBC exits

[Obama-Biden Democrat]

Which side does better in the post 5pm voting crowd?

[Comrade Funk]

Approval better in Florida than Missouri.

[Former Dean Phillips Supporters for Haley (I guess???!?) 👁️]

Florida ---  51 Approve 48 disapprove of Trump in early exits.

[Adam Griffin]

Trump approval, GA: 47/51 (-4)

MSNBC says Abrams is winning a larger share of disapproves than Kemp is winning approves...

[Hindsight was 2020]

Missouri is 50 Approve, 49 Disapprove says MSNBC exits

Holy f**k Claire has to be loving that

[Former Dean Phillips Supporters for Haley (I guess???!?) 👁️]

MSNBC also said the approval was close in GA, and that Abrams was doing better among Trump Disapprove than Kemp was doing among Trump approve, but I didn't catch the exact #s.

[IceSpear]

Missouri is 50 Approve, 49 Disapprove says MSNBC exits

If it's accurate, it'll be a razor thin race as expected.

[Roronoa D. Law]

Approval better in Florida than Missouri.

Well Florida has always been polarized.

[Former Dean Phillips Supporters for Haley (I guess???!?) 👁️]

Trump approval, GA: 47/51 (-4)

MSNBC says Abrams is winning a larger share of disapproves than Kemp is winning approves...

That is 47 approve, 51 disapprove? If so, amazing great for Abrams. I hope it holds up....... If it does she could be on course to win without a runoff, which would be amazing.

Trump was at 39% at the time among polls of likely or registered voters(see 538's tracker; https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/voters/), his low point was August 2017 when he was at 37% and then in December he was at 38%.
