The problem with the poll is that many, like myself, already voted before today. We have a system of early voting. For a week or two before the official voting day, you can go and early vote. I voted last week. I mostly voted Republican, as the lesser of the 2 evils. But for many judge positions & for my Representative to the House of Reps, there was no Republican running at all. For House of Representatives, my representative is a Democrat, and my district is a "safe democrat precinct." A libertarian party candidate ran, and an independent candidate ran. I voted for the independent, though the main issue he seems concerned about was Ebola!
I was flabbergasted to see that something like 20 judge positions had no one running but a democrat. O I just unvoted for them.
It looks like the Republicans will end the day "controlling" both legislative houses of Congress. It is a phenomena of American politics that if a president wins a 2nd 4 year term, after 2 years the Congressional vote will go against him. This happened to Ronald Reagan & I think to Bush II. I guess after 6 years the people figure out that the president is not the messiah and give him a congressional opposition.

I handed in my ballot last week. Personally I wish a viable third party would rise up since neither major party (at the national level) truly represent my values anymore. At times I find myself voting for candidates that I really don't like a whole lot just because the alternative is even more distasteful.
Voted last week by mail in ballot.....voted for candidates did not matter party affiliation.
A Republican and a Democrat shared the ballot and compromised as tourist is the new kid in town and would have had to drive four hours+ round trip to vote....Who said Reps and Dems can't get along and compromise?
