ABC News has an analysis of the exit polling from tonight’s elections and think it may predict some bad news for Democrats in 2010. The main issue of concern – the economy. A whopping 90% of New Jersey voters said they were worried about the direction our our nation’s economy. That number went down only slightly to 85% in Virginia.

In Virginia, voters who expressed the highest levels of economic concern supported McDonnell by a very wide margin, 73-26 percent. Moreover, 46 percent called the economy the single top issue in their vote, far and away No.1, and those economy voters favored McDonnell over Deeds by a 10-point margin in preliminary results.

This support for McDonnell led to his early victory and a sweep for the GOP of all the top statewide elected offices in the Commonwealth tonight. We’ll see in the coming hours how this effects the outcome of New Jersey’s election. For 2010, if this astronomically high worry about the economy (and our current 10%+ unemployment rate) continues, it cannot be good news for the Democrats (and maybe some incumbent Congressional Republicans) in 2010. As Bill Clinton’s once famous Democrat consultant James Carville once said, “It’s the economy stupid.”
