Interesting exit notes
White protestant/"other Christians" skewed harder toward Clinton than did whites as a whole (67 percent to 61).
Speaking of "other Christians," 30 percent of voters identified themselves as such. We might could do a better job definiging our categories.
Obama continues to rock the Godless vote: he took "nones" 69/29.
He also did much better among Catholics here than he did in Penn (improved from 30 percent to 48). Lends some credence to what I saw as the suspect argument that there is no Catholic vote. Still not sure if that dog hunts, though.
Here too, white protest/"other Christians" (45 percent of the population) went stronger for Clinton than did whites as a whole (62 percent to 60).
Church attendance wasn't much of an indicator: Obama won "more than weekly," "a few times a month," and "never." Clinton won "weekly" and "a few times a year."


Comments
The exit polls also show that older white's went for Hillary by about 69& to 31%, but under 65 he won. So, much of this may have more to do with generational issues than anything.
