Faux News Exit Poll of White men had Obama down 4 in OH, 10 in IN, and 19 in VA...isnt that good?

[MadBadger]

arent those numbers really good if they hold up in Indiana and Ohio? Wont Obama improve in his numbers among White women?

Note: I understand they arent exactly reliable these exit polls, but they were spinning these numbers as troubling, and i'm not sure how troubling they are.

1. I know polls had Obama signicantly down among white men in VA...

so I don't know how this is "news" or troubling.

2. Ohio is kickass. I think late deciders in OH went to Obama in a big way.

We'll reserve judgement on VA.

6. late deciders went 52% Obama in Ohio per Fox

3. Um, that's spectacular if that's true.

4. Even VA isn't too bad. Look at latest SUSA numbers:

Obama losing the whole white vote 40-57 and doing much better with women - and still ahead by 4.

7. Good thing 10-15% more women are voting than men

And good thing a lot of the voters aren't white men...

[lessthanjake]

8. Thats actually great!

For instance, in Indiana a SurveyUSA Poll that had Obama ahead by 4 a few weeks ago had Obama losing men by 7%. That was all men, so one would assume he was losing white men by about 10%. Once again, that poll had him winning by 4 overall, so this is good.

9. Yes, because women are the larger part of the electorate and they favor Obama overwhelmingly

[Girlieman]

10. I'm deeply ashamed

That so many of my fellow white men are racists or complete dumbasses or both.

14. Don't worry about it. Some people are just stupid. Not your fault.

11. FOX News All White All The Time

12. 2004 white male vote for comparison

IN: 64-35 Bush (+29)
OH: 56-43 Bush (+13)
VA: 72-27 Bush (+45)

CNN exit poll

13. No Democrat has won a majority of white men since the 1960s.

If Obama is this close in those states, we could be looking at a landslide.

15. Exit polls ran +7 for Obama in the primaries

and still down 11 with white males in Ohio is a great number
