VA Exit Polls tell an interesting tale
Nov 3rd, 2009 by David Anderson
Republicans were more motivated to show up. McDonnell did well in all demos. His margin of victory came from fellow Evangelicals who went for him big–83% of the vote and they were 1/3 of the electorate. Deeds attack on abortion and gay rights backfired. Deeds pulled 10 points less in that group than the President. McDonnell won young voters with 54% and it went up from there. He won 65% of Independent voters and 96% of Republicans. He even pulled 10% of Black voters. That is not unusual in DE or MD, but is double the VA average and triple last year for the party.
Here is the ideological breakdown. VA pretty much reflects the national average.
McDonnell Deeds
Liberal (18%) 9% 91%
Moderate (43%) 46% 54%
Conservative (39%) 91% 9%
White Evangelical/Born-again Christians McDonnell Deeds
White Evangelical/Born-again Christians (34%) 83% 17%
All others (66%) 43% 56%
Obamamania had the shelf-life of cottage cheese. Suckers who voted BO now see him for what he is, a leftist ideologue. The good thing is, ideologues don’t change- they can’t change, and learn and adapt to reality. Hence, the ’10 elections will be a bloodbath that will make the Republican Revolution of ’94 seem like a pinprick.
Construction out of destruction..
REPUDIATION!!!
