MTV's "Choose or Lose 2004" today announced that according to final national exit polls and early vote tallies an estimated 21 million 18-30 year olds voted in the 2004 presidential election according to an analysis provided by CIRCLE Research.

Key battleground states saw a marked increase in young voter turnout with one out of every five voters in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin under the age of 30.

Early VNS exit polling

by Jerome Armstrong

Here is some of the early VNS data, fwiw:

	 AZ  CO  LA  PA  OH  FL  MI  NM  MN  WI  IA  NH
Kerry	 45  48  42  60  52  51  51  50  58  52  49  57
Bush	 55  51  57  40  48  48  47  48  40  43  49  41

Now, mind that these are early numbers. And even if correct, they reflect the ones most wanting to vote, and it's still a long way to go... but wow, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire & Minnesota voters can't wait to boot Bush!

Not only is Kerry not losing, but he's winning. At this point in the day the Kerry campaign would be happy to be five or six points down, but instead they're winning? Huge in Pennsylvania!
Get out the vote!

Wow. Kerry should be down 5-6 points, Democrats don't vote in the morning. Who are all of these people? Has the youth surge arrived?

Atrios warning on exit polls:

Exit Polls

The first round will be leaked soon. With any luck they'll be leaked to me too. But, it's important to remember that a) exit polls posted on right wing sites are likely bullshit. And, b) even if they're "accurate" they're still bullshit, because exit polls always favor Republican voters in the AM...

Early Exits

by Chris Bowers

I have no idea what they are going to be, but don't believe a word they tell you--good or bad. In 2000, the early exits were way off:

     Gore EE Margin  Final Result
FL	+3		tied
MI	-5		 +5
MN	-8		 +2
OH	+3		 -3

So forget Drudge and early exits--look only at turnout. Keep getting out the vote!
