Unconfirmed exit polls circulating online are indicating major Democratic victories in the US Senate, RAW STORY has learned.

The list finds Republicans leading in just 2 of 9 key races, in Arizona and Tennessee.

Exit polls in 2000 and 2004 overestimated the performance of Democrats in final tallies by sometimes large margins.

The list, as acquired by RAW STORY, follows:

#
Democrats leading in:

* VA: 53-46
* RI: 53-46
* PA: 57-42
* OH: 57-43
* NJ: 53-45
* MT: 53-46
* MO: 50-48

Republicans leading:

* TN: 51-48
* AZ: 50-46

[EFerrari]

63. NY Guber called for SPITZER !!

[aquart]

77. Please. He was basically unopposed. Like Clinton.

They could have called it before the count.

[Danger Mouse]

79. No big surprise there...

We had some dealings with him when a crooked contractor ripped off our family and made off with tons of our cash. He was a big help, but that's another story...
I couldn't even remember the name of his challenger (Faso)...but he was just a sacrificial lamb. Spitzer was destined to win this one.

[tblue37]

64. Watching election Kansas update on ABC a moment ago.

The crawl had Morisson, the Dem challenger in the Attorney General race, at 65%; the incumbent Phill Kline, the one who seems to have handed abortion records to O'Reilley, was at 35%.

But when the newsreaders came on, they rpesented the early results as 65% for Kline, 35% for Morrison!

I wonder if they are just going to try to reverse the totals to give the wins to the Republican losers!
