About two-thirds of Republican primary voters in all five states voting Tuesday support temporarily banning non-citizen Muslims from entering the United States, but majorities in all five say they want immigrants already in the United States illegally to be allowed a chance to stay.
Only about 4 in 10 Republican voters in each state want all immigrants in the country illegally to be deported.

White voters make up the majority of Democratic voters in four of five states going to the polls Tuesday, but all five states included large enough percentages of minority voters to potentially affect the results.
According to early results of exit polls conducted for the Associates Press and television networks, black voters make up at least about one-fifth of the Democratic electorate in each states voting Tuesday, and in Florida, Illinois and North Carolina nearly 3 in 10 Democratic primary voters are black.

(18,791 posts)But I think this exit poll crap should be illegal, until all polls on the vote day (so today, all states would need to close) before lame Media can start this garbage.
I just don't like it.

(11,605 posts)And just release little tidbits like these that are hard to interpret much from. Little clues, maybe, but only for those diehard enough to care. And I assume most of those people will not be deterred from voting.

................Majorities of Democrats in five states going to the polls Tuesday say they would be satisfied with both candidates as the nominee.
According to early results of exit polls conducted by Edison Research for the Associated Press and television networks, voters are more likely to describe Sanders than Clinton as honest, but more likely to describe Clinton's policies as realistic.
At least half of voters in each state say each of the two candidates' positions on the issues are "about right," though voters are generally more likely to say Sanders' policies are too liberal than not liberal enough and to say the opposite about Clinton.
Democratic voters in all five states see Clinton as the candidate with the better chance to beat Donald Trump if he is the Republican nominee in November.
