prices are above the national average. the median income for a household has decreased almost $8,000. that s over the last three years. if the economy is important and immigration is important as well, i m sure how do you think the voters put all of that together and made their decision for the president? that s a great question. i will be curious to see the exit polling. hopefully we will have more information in the morning. i think the interesting thing by the numbers you would think nevada would have been in romney s column. but president obama came to nevada during the campaign season i think around a dozen ims too. kept making the case that things were slowly moving in the right direction. sandoval would put out press releases each time we got jobs
campaign s last minute push in pennsylvania, voters there gave the 20 electoral votes to president obama. 52-47. brian: i m fascinated by that because you know president obama was worried, his camp was worried about it. bill clinton had three appearances there on tuesday. and we had mitt romney going there on tuesday, too. steve: when you look at some of the exit polling regarding ohio, a majority of americans still blame bush for the bad economy rather than the president. brian: there is two reasons. they might really believe that. the other thing is, that s all they ve heard for four years. so after a while, it starts sinking in. i m going to be fascinated at one point when we break down what went wrong with our economy and what policies were in place because people think the bush tax cut caused the crash on wall street. it s going to take a sober nonpolitical sensibility to go and analyze this and see what really happened. steve: although i think what joe trippi told you is
electorial votes in my final map. i don t know too many who had 332 which would include florida. bill: florida hasn t been called just yet. are you suggesting that this lead holds up for the president, he gets 29 electorial votes? i do. i believe it s going to hold up. if it doesn t it becomes the i4 corridor and hispanics again. cuban-americans went for mitt romney. hispanics went for the president i big. overall in our exit polling hispanics are 10% of the election threat in 2012. what does this tell you? it s again the changing demographics of the country, changing demographics of florida. in virginia the same thing. i mean big demographic changes in the northern part of the state. he promised immigration reform an did not happen and he got a larger percentage of the hispanic vote in 2012 than
president obama appears to have bested him and at this point, let s take a look how the breakdown happened in the exit polling as far as the noncuban hispanics in florida. 68% went for president obama. 32% for romney. even though the cuban americans bested for romney over obama. as far as the senior citizen vote, well, obama lost that in the state of florida to romney, 58% to 42%. at this point, there are 42,000 votes separating president obama and governor romney out of 8.2 million votes cast. 27,000 remaining absentee, even if romney won them all, it appears he could not make up for the current president lead. brian: overall, thanks a lot. he s saying basically, it is going to end up in the president s column. that s what i m getting. heather is here to talk about why the vote went the way it did. you went inside the numbers. that s right. we are looking at the exit polls? brian: you re our terry
over the head of republicans, the harder for them to make inroadith the president winning 93% of black voters 71% of and also married women and young voters. mitt romney 78% of white evangelicals. r government and less j< taxes, how do they get back on that and what needs to be done in people s bedrooms? they ve got a big problem, the republican does. they have a sizable chunk of saying aren t amena t th republica sizable chunk of their base scares the majority of americans. majority of americans don t want scalia in their bedroom.ey believe as they said in the exit polling, they believe rich people should pay a little more in tough economics. they don t buy the tea party line.ea party is half the republican party. so divided republican party, divided
