Right track Wrong Track 46-52, acccording to CBS early exit

ThinkProgress ?@thinkprogress

CBS early exit poll data: 46% say the country is headed in the right direction, but 52% say it is off on the wrong track (via @JFarleyWTOP)

If that holds, that's actually very good. That would be way ahead of the national polls, which have it closer to 40-54 (avg)

And only 25% say they are better off than 4 years ago. That is a little worrisome (sorry!)

As to what issues? And who? Eastern voters - they can't be through with the counting until they've talked to the exiting voters from all states.
