WE LEFT TOO MANY STATES AND SEATS ON THE TABLE:
Exit Polls 2016: Voters Show a Deep Hunger for Change (LAURA MECKLER, Nov. 9, 2016, WSJ)
Unfortunately, running a candidate universally recognized as unfit did finally cost good people like Kelly Ayotte their seats.The exit polls show the campaign ended the way it began: with two unpopular candidates. About 44% said they had a favorable view of Mrs. Clinton, and just 38% had a favorable view of Mr. Trump. On Election Day 2012, both Mr. Obama and Mr. Romney had higher ratings than that.More than half of voters said Mrs. Clinton was qualified to serve as president, and more than half said she had the right temperament for the job. Only about a third of the electorate said the same of Mr. Trump.
