Exit Polls: Voters Split On Whether Roy Moore's Accusers Are Telling the Truth, But 55% Say It's a "Minor" Factor or Not a Factor In Their Decision
The partisan split among those showing up to vote today is Democrat 37%, Republican 46%, Independent 20%. This sounds a bit bad to me -- I'd expect the Republican affiliation to be higher, if Moore was going to win. I know that many people in the south still claim to be nominally Democrat or Independent while voting Republican, but still, I'd think this should be higher, were Moore going to win:
The "abortion illegal" number also seems low to me. You can't trust exit polls much, especially with a candidate perceived as disapproved by the media, but these polls don't look good to me for Moore.
