Before the DelugePretty soon, the results are going to start coming in from the East Coast. Right now, however, the New York Times has only Indiana (3.2%) and Kentucky (20%) reporting.
In 2000, Kentucky voted 56.6% Bush 41% Gore. So far, with 20% of the vote in, Kentucky is 53% Bush, 46.2% Kerry.
In 2000, Indiana voted 56.4% Bush, 41.3% Gore. So far, with only 3.2% reporting, Indiana is 58.2% Bush, 41% Kerry.
In both states, as more votes have been coming in, Bush’s lead has been deteriorating in both states. While this is hardly predictive of anything, I am comforted to see what appears to be a trend of solidly red states showing less Bush support than they did in 2000.
UPDATE: With 27% in for Kentucky, Bush is back up, 54.9 vs. 44.3. Indiana also got worse for Kerry: with 5.3% reporting, Bush has 59.8% of the vote, Kerry only 39.5%.
