(CNN) - Early exit polling of voters in the Wisconsin recall election showed a close contest, with a clear majority of voters having made up their minds well before the final weeks which saw intense campaigning on both sides of the aisle.
The exit polls showed that nearly nine of ten voters made their decisions prior to May, when Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett won the Democratic primary to challenge Gov. Scott Walker, a Republican. Petitions for the recall election circulated after Walker signed a bill last spring which cut collective bargaining rights for many state employees, prompting massive protests at the state house.

(47,675 posts)Carter won the expected Eastern states but the maps predicted a sweep for Reagan throughout the rest of the country. A lot of people stayed home figuring it was useless to vote and this was WAY before the polls closed. Pissed the hell out of me.

(36,063 posts)It's gone beyond precedent and simply saying big turnout = dems win.
Where it's gone I don't know, but this is beyond facile interpretation.

(53,475 posts)The only poll that matters is running out of ballots across the State, and that's a good sign for our side.
