President Obama has won re-election tonight, with big help from California's 55 electoral votes. Dianne Feinstein is also expected to easily win re-election over somewhat token opposition from Republican Elizabeth Emken. We're also keeping a close eye on the 11 propositions on the statewide ballot. Proposition 30 -- Gov. Jerry Brown's tax measure -- is now losing by four percentage points. But as Field Poll Director Mark DiCamillo warns Scott Shafer, it's still early to read too much in to state propositions numbers, with only about 12 percent of precincts reporting.
