Excellent.

It is not excellent. This is supposed to be a Trump heavy electorate. A heavily Trump electorate would say something like 60% good job Trump on coronavirus.

Funny they just ignore 51% are things Dems are trusted on more, and just focus on that 34% that is basically his cult.

FLORIDA % Turnout                           
19
      Party   % Turnout                           
20
      Democratic   74.6%                           
21
      Republican   80.3%                           
22
      NPA/Other   65.4%                           
23
      All Voters   74.1%

Republicans are turning out! It will be close either way but this isn't something that is going Bidens way. We'll know within about 7 hours.

GOP hasn’t even matched their turnout from 2016 yet while Dems have zoomed past theirs.

Trump approval +9 in Florida.

I would see that exit poll as a huge warning sign for Biden if I didn't know to take all exit polls this year with a truckload of salt.

Each year.

It would have been just carloads of salt in previous years. They are even less reliable this year due to the much higher volume of mail-in ballots.

The FL exit poll also has Trump approval at 54/45, so... it seems this wave may seriously be skewing R

[Holmes]

Yeah, economy is always the #1 issue. No surprise. Racial equality being #2 over coronavirus though...

[musicblind]

48% says covid is handled well, wtf???

I cannot get over this number.

That number should be 0%

We handled coronavirus worse than nearly every nation on EARTH.

[Non Swing Voter]

44% of the Georgia electorate is 44 and under.  Is that normal for the state?  Seems incredibly young. 

[Penn_Quaker_Girl]

Very similar results to this. Many Countries (e.g. Spain, France, Belgium) where Government approval over the Issue is very low and with very high death and infection rates, still think it has been handled well. Because Federal Government handling is only one thing people consider, state/regional/local Government, and community handling/solidarity, which people witness in their daily lives, also play a role. So this does not translate directly to a good response for Trump.

^ This.  

My local government has done a great job.  My state government has done a...decent job.  The federal government on the other hand...

They really shouldnt have released these.

Fox. They're on planet Fox.

5:00 - Doom about exit polls
6:00 - Doom about KY/IN
7:00 - Doom about FL

Do I have this right?

[Bootes Void]

Trump approval at 54. Yeah that's really screwy

[RI]

Racial equality being #2 over coronavirus though...

I really find that hard to believe.

If I can see the Rajin' Cajun' have one last laugh at the Dems stomping the GOP tonight, man, that would be heartwarming.

[musicblind]

ATLAS 5 MINUTES AGO: Don't extrapolate from the initial exit polls!! They're extra crappy this year!

ATLAS NOW: Extrapolating from the early exit polls...

So true lol

lol you can't look at our covid deaths & japan covid deaths .etc and seriously try and claim any policy or mask accounts for the difference. Our death metrics don't make sense in contrast with literally any other country in the world regardless of how you account for them.

And this is because we are aggressively marking our deaths with comobidity more than any other country on earth. Carry on.

Yes, but it should be higher.

Probably breaks down:

Racial equality, healthcare = Dem voters

Crime = GOP voters

Economy and Coronavirus = a mix of both.  Economy being mostly GOP voters and Coronavirus mostly Dem voters both with some crossover for both.

It's pretty apparent the exit polls have too much election day votes and not enough early vote. Or judging from these numbers, no early vote.

Racial equality being #2 over coronavirus though...

I really find that hard to believe.

Black Democrats voting in-person on Election Day rather than early/mail?

[Crumpets]

Dude, most ED voters are Trump supporters. Also, EXIT POLLS THIS YEAR ARE MEANINGLESS.

Lol. Burn.
