Early exit poll info from Marc Armbinder:<\/a><\/p>\n

Info from our trusty pals at CBS News<\/a>: this electorate is very white; only four in ten have a “college degree.” They’re “less affluent” than Dems in other states. The percentage of late deciders is declining: only 27% made up their minds within the last seven days.
\n— Issue number one is, of course, the economy, followed by health care… adding the economy and health care brings you to nearly 70% of the electorate.
\n— Change trumps experience, 52 to 24.
\n— Very few first time voters — only 17%.
\n— 27% of the electorate were independent
\n— Clinton was seen as the most unfair attacker;
\n— Obama (55%) was seen as the candidate most like to improve relations with the res tof the world.
\n— Clinton and Obama are seen as equally qualified to be commander in chief (50% and 48%), while Obama draws 60% or more on the questions of who best can unite the country and beat the Republicans.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

National Review’s Jim Geraghty claims <\/a>exit polls show Obama winning, but take these with a grain of salt, since they are very early and voting hasn’t ended yet.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, consider this the end of the day open thread.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> More exit poll crack from Time’s “The Page”<\/a><\/p>\n

Women: Obama 51%, Clinton 49%<\/p>\n

Families with income under 50,000: Obama 51%, Clinton 49%<\/p>\n

Independents: Obama 63%, Clinton 34%<\/p>\n

Seniors: Clinton 60%, Obama 39%<\/p>\n

Top quality \u2014 experience: Clinton 95%, Obama 5%<\/p>\n

Union households: Clinton 50%, Obama 49%<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

UPDATE 2:<\/strong> Exit polls from CBS <\/a>and CNN.<\/a><\/p>\n

The nets haven’t called it yet, so it’s much closer than the Potomac Primaries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
