Rasmussen exit: 22% of Dems voted for Brown

Is that an "inner city exit poll"??

[Lexinom]

First REAL NUMBERS courtesy WRKO

55% Brown
44% Coakley

5 precincts reporting.

[SamAdams76]

Four towns officially reporting:

Tyngsboro - 67-32% for Brown
Shrewsbury - 62-38% for Brown
Woburn - 56-43% for Brown
BOSTON - 52-48% for Coakley

Folks, this is huge. Suburbs huge from Brown and Boston (so far) has only a four point lead for Croakley.

[The Citizen Soldier]

First numbers on TV

MSNBC - Brown 54.6 / Coakley 44.5

[StarFan]

O’Reilly said that Rasmussen held a secret exit poll showing that 48% of the dems voted for Coakley. He cited another number which favored Brown but Rasmussen forecasts this will be very very close and not a complete blowout either way.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Tyngsboro - 67-32% for Brown
Shrewsbury - 62-38% for Brown
Woburn - 56-43% for Brown

Are those large lib areas? Boston I am kinda surprised Coakley is winning, considering how she dissed red sox nation

[Political Junkie Too]

Late-breakers are probably die-hards who anguished but just couldn't do it in the end.

BOR said 49-41 breaking for Coakley, but didn't say how big a population the late-breakers were.

Here is what Rasmussen says: “Rasmussen Reports has conducted an Election Night survey of 1,000 voters in the Massachusetts special election for U.S. Senate. Data will be released on this page throughout the evening. “

Rasmussen said that this isn’t “exit polling” which means you are at the polling places and interview people on the way out. He did phone calls this evening.

But I guess he started before the polls closed.

[Pravious]

Fox’s coverage is taking some of the wind out of my sails... or are they all just reluctant to really say anything before substantial returns come in?

[Andy'smom]

OMG! Huge.
