Obama Campaign: Exit Polls Show "Significant Improvements" Over Our Performance In Ohio

Obama spokesperson Bill Burton argues, via instant messaging, that the exit polls show already that in Pennsylvania Obama is doing better among key groups than he did in Ohio, a state with similar demographic advantages for Hillary:

Significant improvements over Ohio, especially among white men and seniors overall.

With voters over 60 in OH, Clinton won 69%, Obama got 28%. In PA, Obama earned 41% of the vote among voters over 60, and Clinton won 59%. The gap among seniors was cut by more than half, from 41 to 19.

Among white men, in Ohio, Obama got 39%, in PA, 46%. Clinton was at 58% in OH and dropped to 53% in PA. The gap narrowed from 19% to 7%.

It's worth keeping in mind that for various reasons Pennsylvania is actually more demographically advantageous to Hillary than Ohio was -- a fact that could either redound to her benefit or to her disadvantage, depending on what happens tonight.
