No, they did not and the internals are very clear on that point. The Democrats want you to believe what you cherry picked from the 'exit polls' but it is hogwash.
When it comes to a conservative Democrat who has some feelings for the right to choose or strong national defense, he will always choose national defense over choice.
Freedom of choice and right to life supporters on both sides of the question do not appeal to anyone in the middle, period because the middle is basically not interested in whatever a private person does. The middle minds it own business and that is 80% of the voter base. You and Al Sharpton get to divide up the rest.
Please back up your assertion, then. NR had a very compelling article to the contrary, so what have YOU got?

Unless, of course, the drumbeat of the MSM over Iraq continues to erode support for the war. In the very demo Rudy would need to run into as a pro-war pubbie in order to make up votes lost from the GOP splintering.
It ain't happening. The Dem candidate will move rightwards far enough to keep the pro-security Dems on the rez, and Rudy won't be able to pull over pro-life and pro-gun Dems and Indies. Game over.
