2008 Presidential Election Exit Polls by Gender and Age, USA by State, November 2008

This dataset is one section of the 2008 CNN Exit Polls for the Presidential Election. This section provides data on voters based on gender and age groups. The data was retrieved from the CNN Election Center 2008 section on Exit Polls by State. The data was then formated and joined to a shapefile of the USA states. Values of -1 represent no data available. Often, certin questions were asked of people in some states but not others so some attributes only have answers for a select number of states. All numbers represent the percentage of voters. The categories for each question are the percent of voters who ... (ex. have a high school education), that voted for Obama; for McCain; for other or did not answer; and total voters.
