It appears that some massaging of the exit poll data is being done as the hours go by, perhaps to make it line up more with fairly close actual vote totals. In any case, here's the latest from NBC website, which has far more exit polls questions than CNN or some of the other sites. As usual, NBC has the Gender Gap as the 1st question displayed:

Gender

Category Obama Romney % Total
Male 45 52 47
Female 55 44 53

 

while the Marriage Gap is the 62nd question:

Are you currently married?
