Exit polling
According to CNN.com, which did extensive exit polling thoughout the day yesterday, American Jews overwhelmingly supported Barack Obama over John McCain. Jews, which make up but 2% of the American population, voted 78%-21% in favor of Obama, which is the highest percentage among all religions. Overall, Obama received over 63 million votes, or about 52% of the popular vote, to go with 349 electoral votes. McCain received about 55.8 million votes, around 46% of the popular vote, and ended up with 173 electoral votes.
Congratulations to President-elect Obama for his hard fought victory, and congratulations to Senator McCain on a tough campaign. He left the stage last night with dignity and called for national unity.
