The exit polls on Prop 8 are very interesting. According to the poll, 69% of African-American voters support prop 8, opposed to under 50% for other races. Furthermore, the 30-64 age range is dead even 50/50, with 18-29 leaning no, and 65+ leaning yes. So the race essentially could be determined by whether more young or old voters get to the ballots. People with less than college degree's tend to lean yes, graduates lean no. The 6% of people who decided who to vote for in the last three days disproportionately leaned yes.
91% of people who's religion is listed as "none" voted no on prop 8. Rock on atheists.
