Fascinating. Zogby is calling the election for Kerry: Kerry 311 electoral votes to Bush’s 213, with Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan all going blue. They project a popular vote of 49.4% for Bush, 49.1% for Kerry, which would be bad news — the second straight election in which the popular vote winner loses the election.
But Slate reports that in the national exit poll, Kerry leads Bush 51-48%.
Zogby’s site is getting hammered with traffic, so I’ve mirrored their projections here.
Give Ohio, Florida (and Nevada and Colorado) to Bush, however, and the president wins reelection. Here are real-time vote tabulation results from Florida and Ohio.
