heard this from MSNBC

exit polling questions..

1) Bush approval among exit voters - 50% A, 47% D
2) Cali Economy - Good/Very Good = 16%; Not Good/Bad = 84%
3) Can Cali problems be fixed w/o tax hikes - evenly split

from Foxnews

1) Davis approvals - 23% A, 76% D (similar ratings among women voters)
2) Favorables - Arnold 51% F, 44% Un (47/47 among women voters); Busty 36% F, 58% UnF
3) Has arnold answered all the issues - 32% Y, 66% N

my own interpretations...

the Bush approval is a sign that there are more reps than dims in the exit samples - in NY, Bush approval is in the mid 40s...the 50% approval in cali looks awfully good if we have the normal 35% rep, 45% dim, 20% indy voting mix..

the approvals for davis is so low that it will take an act of God to save his skin..

the Favorable for arnold remains good enough for a good win, the 47/47 split among women voters hinting the late charges have only minor impacts

the HIGH unfav in Busty shows Busty will have an uphill battle here

the 32% said arnold has answered all the issues - telling me arnold at least get 32% of the votes

with busty's unfav much higher than arnold's, and if arnold indeed start with a 32% base, the race could well end up in a low/mid 40s for arnold, mid 30s for busty...with Davis as a flaming toast..
