There are no official exit polls made available to the public, to the lament of many:

But there were a couple of polls done on or near election day that give us some final insight:
AFL-CIO poll of 810 voters on election night:

Highlights:
- There was a 15 point gender gap: men by +13 points for Brown vs. women by +2 points for Coakley.
- College grads were +5 points for Coakley, non-college voters were +20 points for Brown. It’s not clear if “non-college” means not a college grad, or did not attend college at all. I’d guess not attending at all.
- Union members voted for Brown 49% vs. Coakley 46%.
- Brown’s personal rating: 51% positive vs. 32% negative (net +19 points).
- Coakley’s personal rating: 40% positive vs. 37% negative (net +3 points).
- Lots of issue-related numbers too.
