From the New York Times . . .

NY Times exit poll data highlights:
- Obama barely won among men (49% to 48%)
- Strongly among women (56% to 43%)
- Overwhelmingly among blacks (95% to 5%)
- Convincingly among Latinos (66% to 31%) and Asians (62% to 35%)

Obama lost among whites (43% to 55%) as Democrats normally do; he did progressively worse with age, winning the 18-29 year-olds 66% to 31% but losing seniors 52% to 46%; he swept every educational category as well as Catholics and Jews but lost Protestants 54% to 45%; he won people living in big cities, small cities, and suburbs, but lost in small towns and rural areas.
One is tempted to say McCain won in traditional 19th century America (what Sarah Palin would call "real America"): older white Protestant men living in small towns. Obama won everywhere else.
