OK, so what do the exit polls say?

Has anyone looked at all of them and is there a summary of the data anywhere?

Midwest 4:00 p.m. Kerry 50% Bush 49%
Midwest 7:33 p.m. Kerry 50% Bush 49%


South 4:00 p.m. Kerry 45% Bush 54%
(However, the South numbers from 4:00 p.m. reflect 61% female and 39% male. Adjusted for 53% female and 47% male, the figures are still 45% Kerry and 54% Bush, but Bush almost reaches 55% and Kerry almost falls to 44%)
South 7:33 p.m. Kerry 45% Bush 54%


East 4:00 p.m. Kerry 57 Bush 41
East 7:33 p.m. Kerry 58 Bush 42


West 4:00 p.m. Kerry 53 Bush 45
(However, the West numbers from 4:00 p.m. reflect 60% female to 40% male. Adjusted for 53% female to 47% male, the figures are still 53% Kerry (52.8) and 45% for Bush (45.2).
West 7:33 p.m. Kerry 53 Bush 45.
(Once again, the female quotient dramatically overshadows the male quotient, 56 to 44%. Adjusted for 53% female and 47% male, the figures are 53% Kerry and 46% Bush.)


General Exit Poll (nationwide)
4:00 p.m. 51% Kerry 48% Bush
(The female to male ratio was 58 to 42. Adjusted for 53% female and 47% male, the figures are approximately 50.2% Kerry and 47.8% Bush).
7:33 p.m. 51% Kerry 48% Bush. Here the female to male ratio is 52% to 48% and Kerry is holding steady at a 3-point lead.

That's quite stunning.

So I guess the Republican spin is going to be that the exit polls were flawed somehow, even though they have been dead on in previous presidential elections.

This is the national exit poll, which shows Kerry with a 2.6% lead over Bush nationally:

And here's a very good report on it:
