15% of exit poll says Obama's hurricane reaction most important to their vote

These are all preliminary numbers, of course, subject to adjusting once final results are in. But for now, none of this points to an unexpected Romney surge:

CBS early exit polls show that 26 percent want repeal ObamaCare in whole, 25 percent want it expanded. But another 23% want some repealed.

Only a quarter of voters want Obamacare repealed. Big conservative fail.

CBS early national exit polls: 15 percent said Obama's hurricane response was the most important factor in their vote.

Good thing President Barack Obama got it right, huh? And thanks, Chris Christie!

Early exit polls show similar electorate to 2008, though slightly more Republican.
— @FixAaron via Seesmic twhirl
No one expected Obama to do as well as 2008, so some erosion is no big deal. But the entire Republican "unskewing" effort was predicated on turnout to look like 2004, when there was parity between Republicans and Democrats. So far, this preliminary exit poll data suggests the pollsters got it right.
