Go vote if you haven't already. I remember being furious at the TV networks in 1980 when they declared Ronald Reagan the victor in the presidential race before polls had closed out West. Nonetheless, some pilfered and alleged exit poll results are showing up on the web and I share one website herewith for the most hard-core political junkies:

Take with a giant grain of salt (please read Pollster.com and Nate Silver on why you should be highly skeptical), but I have received the following numbers from multiple sources:

  • Florida: Obama 52 percent/McCain 44 percent
  • Georgia: Obama 47 percent/McCain 51 percent
  • Indiana: Obama 52 percent/McCain 48 percent
  • Iowa: Obama 58 percent/McCain 42 percent
  • Michigan: Obama 60 percent/McCain 39 percent
  • Minnesota: Obama 60 percent/McCain 39 percent
  • Missouri: Obama 52 percent/McCain 48 percent
  • Nevada: Obama 55 percent/McCain 45 percent
  • New Hampshire: Obama 57 percent/McCain 43 percent
  • New Mexico: Obama 56 percent/McCain 43 percent
  • North Carolina: Obama 52 percent/McCain 48 percent
  • Ohio: Obama 54 percent/McCain 45 percent
