I was wondering what the national breakdown was of the Dems, Republicans, and Decline to State, etc. who actually voted this year. The figure I'm looking for is the statistical projection of Dems and independents who voted for the President. :-)

According to the national exit polls, the partisan breakdown was 37% Republican 37% Democrat and 26% independent/3rd party. This is a net 4% improvement for Republicans since the 2000 election when the partisan spread was 39% Dem 35% Republican. Interestingly, according to the Gallup polling firm, the avg. bump for the party of an incumbent president running for re-election is 4%, which is exactly what occurred in the 2004 election.
