Exit Polls: Change And Polarization
By
From the folks at CBS News, a look at the early exit polls:
The exit polls show a smaller percentage of late deciders -- 23% -- than in previous states. The economy mattered most to 54% of voters. (TV news reports say that Clinton won these folks.)
The change versus experience question has been settled: 49% said change was their top vote-generating quality, versus 26 percent who said experience was.
About 15% of the electorate was made up of new voters. 37% are gun owners.
Still petulant: more than 60% of Clinton voters say they wouldn't be happy if Obama were the nominee; about half of Obama voters say the same. 25% of Clinton supporters say they'd vote for McCain in the general election; 17% of Obama supporters say they'd vote for McCain in the general election.
Still, 57% of Pennsylvanians believed that Sen. Clinton "attacked" unfairly compared to 49% who thought Obama did.
