In the Northeast, Romney overperforms - except in his home state
Again, going on the preliminary exit polls as they are online now, and comparing them with the average numbers for the polling done in the past five days, we see a different picture in the Republican race in the Northeast than in the South -- here, it's Romney who overperforms in NY and NJ, even as actual victory was of course far beyond his reach, but he underperformed in the state he did win, his home state Massachusetts.
