Exit Polls: Obama Not A Factor In NJ And VA Races

By Kleinheider Posted on November 3, 2009 at 5:50 pm

From Ambinder:

First things first: even in a year when the composition of the electorate is dramatically different than the 2008 presidential election, President Obama’s approval rating in Virginia is 51% among voters surveyed. In New Jersey, it’s 57%. Fewer than half of voters for Bob McDonnell, the Republican gubernatorial candidate in VA, say they voted to send a message to Obama. About 38% of voters for Chris Christie, the New Jersey GOPer, tried to send a message, too. 38% of CreighDeeds voters said their vote for the Democrat was to support Obama.

    Of course, this data will do nothing to prevent various and assorted bloviaters from claiming this is a “repudiation” of Obama, when it is a repudiation of a deeply unpopular Governor in NJ (was very unpopular long before Obama came on the scene) and an atrocious Deeds campaign in VA (where he kicked his own base to the curb).
