2016 Election Night

Exit polls asked voters about Obamacare, but instead of the usual dichotomous responses of “in favor” or “not in favor” of the law, voters were given three options: did the law go too far, not far enough, or was it about right? While 45 percent said the law went too far, 31 percent said it didn’t go far enough, suggesting that many of the people frustrated with the law don’t necessarily want it repealed.

Earlier today, we noted that betting markets were increasingly favoring a Clinton win. Her odds have risen further in the last few hours. She now has an 85 percent chance of winning according to an aggregation of two betting markets, Betfair and PredictIt. That is up 2 percentage points over the past four hours.

While exit polls are not the best at measuring the racial composition of the electorate, it does seem that minority turnout is way up in Florida. In the preliminary exit polls, 39 percent of voters were people of color. That compares to just 33 percent in 2012.
