big race, the governor s race in virginia. we have exit polls in new jersey, too. frankly, even kornacki a new jersey guy will admit this isn t true. speaking of the guy, steve kornacki at the big board in new york with the first batch of exit poll numbers. kornacki, we are dropping new jersey for you today. i will never talk down new jersey but i respect the decision. i hear you. take it to the swing is it state virginia. first wave, more to come, numbers subject to change. one key question here was competition in this election so class divide like we talked about last year, white college grads, what kind of non-college. what share of the electorate. first wave, 43% of white college grads, remember, this is the group that democrats think they can do well with, non-college white, that has been the trump hard core base. down to 26 in the first wave. can also show you this. looming over all of this,
public. 60% saying leave them in place. only 36% saying remove them. that s one of the other finding. we will see if these numbers change at all. that s a quick look at the start of the exit poll numbers. on the monument i have got to say it, we have got to change that yellow so we can see the 60 behind you. it s 60 to keep them in place. 60 to 36. that s why ralph northam never ran an ad that said take them down. well done, we can do this on the fly. improvise. we will see you a lot throughout this evening. thank you, sir. we ll be right back with the super sized panel. for your heart. your joints. or your digestion. so why wouldn t you take something for the most important part of you. your brain. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is now the number one selling brain health supplement
election, including hacking those dnc e-mails. and yet the director of the cia sat down with him for an hour. unusual. and even following that meeting wimeet, mike pompeo said he is fully onboard the intelligence community assessment in january that it was in fact the russians that hacked into the democratic national convention s e-mails. and that is worth repeating. it was repeated to me by the spokesman of the cia today and it s in our piece there on the record that he has not changed his own assessment. that is director pompeo s assessment, that it was russia. thanks very much for that report, jim sciutto, working the story. coming up, a year after voters sent donald trump to the white house, americans are casting ballots once again. and with the president s popularity now at an all-time low, key races will reveal a lot tonight, potentially, at least, about how voters are feeling. we re getting new exit poll numbers. stand by.
attack ads. i think virginians are happy that it s over. yeah. and i think some of the first exit poll numbers, to me, seem to reflect something of an edge of intensity on the democratic side. right. just people just out there to make a point, to say something about is it really intensity if the democrats win in verge by the same margin that hillary clinton won? i am of the win is a win sort of persuasion. sure. if democrats win they get to crow, we won. if they lose, even if it s just by a little bit, and even if they say northam doesn t have charisma or whatever, they lose it is a big problem for the democrats. you do live in the d.c. media market which means you have been you had the same front row seat as the rest of us who actually reside in the state of virginia. it s ridiculous.
major shift in power happening in the united kingdom. we will go live to mike tobin in london with more on this tonight. what is going on? well, martha, if the exit polling numbers are accurate, a couple of explanations that the tories are learning the hard way. one is that the antiestablishment passion is not going away. two, a downside to risk. they took a risk with the brexit voting. the prime minister theresa may took a big gamble calling for this early election, antonella according to the exit poll numbers, she has lost her majority. the labour party, her opponents gained seats, but not enough for a majority either. the british pound is taking a big hit. bouncing back a little bit, but down considerably. make no mistake about it, terrorism did play a role in this outcome. theresa may went in thinking it would be a one issue election, all about brexit, but campaigning was stopped twice because of terrorist bloodshed.
