Preliminary data is starting to trickle in via national exit polls. Three observation:
[1] President Obama's approval number with today's voters is 45%.
[2] The vast majority of respondents--80%--are concerned about the future of the nation's economy.
[3] Approximately 40% of voters today say they are Tea Party sympathizers.
These numbers may bode poorly for the Democrats. But further analysis of the raw data reported by AP may be necessary to make sure these numbers are accurate. Item 3 should be of greatest concern for Democrats, suggesting a sharp conservative, anti-Washington tilt to the electorate. Right now, these numbers suggest a strong showing for the GOP.
