Early exit polling finds today's voters favor Obama over Romney
Early exit polling shows Barack Obama with an edge on Mitt Romney among voters surveyed today.
The results are preliminary and could change as the final interviews are added before the polls close at 8 p.m.
But in the early release, Obama led Romney 51 percent to 45 percent. Two percent said they won't vote.
The exit polling also found 50 percent of those surveyed approved of the collective bargaining changes for public employees, while 48 percent disapproved.
Fifty-four percent of those surveyed believe government should have a more limited role when it comes to solving problems, compared to 42 percent who said government should do more. That's similar to the results from November 2010.
Sixty percent of those surveyed today said recall elections are only appropriate in cases of misconduct, while 28 percent said they are suitable for any reason and 9 percent think they are never appropriate.
