ABC is reporting on exit poll results in Florida and Virginia. Florida voters say they trust Mitt Romney over Barack Obama when it comes to economic issues by a 5-point margin. ABC’s Virginia exit poll, though, shows the opposite of AP’s polling, with the majority seeing improvement in the economy.
