The AP is reporting that preliminary exit polls show that the economy is the top issue for voters this year:
The survey of voters as they leave polling places Tuesday shows 6 in 10 voters say the economy is the top issue facing the nation, with unemployment and rising prices hitting voters hard.
About 4 in 10 say they think the nation’s economy is on the mend, but more say that things are getting worse or are bad and stagnating.
Preliminary exit polls represent early results that will be revised over course of the evening.
