Some exit poll results...

[book_worm]

Now here's a summary of where we seeing in the Democratic contests across states, grouped by key themes.

Race: While not reaching their levels in South Carolina a few days ago, black voters in make up half the electorate in Georgia and Alabama, dropping to roughly a quarter in Virginia, Arkansas and Tennessee and in the teens in Oklahoma and Texas. Hispanic voters are prominent only in Texas, where they account for three in 10 voters in preliminary results. In Vermont and Massachusetts, by contrast, whites account for nearly all voters.

Race relations: More primary voters in most of today’s Southern states think race relations have gotten worse (between four in 10 to half) in the last few years than say they’re better (a third to four in 10). And more voters generally say they trust Clinton rather than Sanders to handle the problem (seven in 10 to eight in 10 vs. half to three-quarters).

1. Kick & recommended.

2. Massachusetts...

Massachusetts

In Massachusetts, seven in 10 voters are liberals in preliminary exit poll results, including three in 10 who are “very” liberal, higher than in today’s Southern states and similar to their levels in Vermont. If this holds in later data, it’ll be a record high for liberal turnout in a Massachusetts Democratic primary.

Nonwhite voters account for just more than one in 10 Democratic primary voters in Massachusetts today, much lower than their turnout across today’s seven Southern states. Only three-quarters want the next president to be an insider, lower than in most of today’s other states. More voters here think Bernie Sanders is honest and trustworthy than say the same about Hillary Clinton (more than eight in 10 vs. just more than half).

3. Oklahoma...

In Oklahoma, black voters account for only slightly more than one in 10 Democratic primary voters in preliminary exit poll results, far below their level among other Southern states voting today. Again more voters here think Sanders is honest and trustworthy than say the same about Clinton (seven in 10 vs. half). Four in 10 voters want the next president to continue Barack Obama’s policies, lower than all other states today save Vermont and Massachusetts. A third want to change to more liberal policies.

4. MA exits are troubling

They are counterintuitive with the polling posted earlier today. Still, it's early and it may be a small sample size.

5. From NBC:

Early exit poll data showed that 52 percent of Democratic voters in Tennessee wanted more liberal policies from a new president, with that number coming in at 46 percent in Oklahoma and 43 percent in Vermont, NBC News reported. Overall, 51 percent of Democratic voters said they wanted the next president to continue Barack Obama's policies, while 31 percent said they wanted more liberal policies.

In Virginia, 74 percent of voters who identified as black said they would like the next president to continue Obama's policies, while 17 percent said they wanted more liberal policies, according to NBC News. Among white voters, 53 percent said they wanted a continuation of Obama's policies, while 35 percent said they wanted more liberal ones.

7. These look good

We might pull off Oklahoma if this plays out.

6. Fewer Indies and more seniors...

Party: Other than Vermont and Massachusetts, far fewer independents are turning out in the Southern states today than did so in New Hampshire, the only state Bernie Sanders has won so far. They make up between two in 10 and a quarter of voters in the Southern states, vs. more than seven in 10 who are mainline Democrats, Clinton’s bread and butter to date.

Age: First-time primary goers are far outnumbered by primary veterans across today’s contests. Relatedly, turnout among under 30s ranges between one in 10 to two in 10 in preliminary exit poll data, generally much lower than turnout among seniors.

10. According to Maddow

Clinton campaign says they do not expect to win Massachusetts tonight.

11. That's too bad. Well, we will see.

12. This could be just setting expectations for a close result

They said the same thing in Nevada and we won by 6 points. Here's hoping. First. 3 states will be called quickly, 2 for us and 1 for Bernie.

13. The polling was way off in Mass

Don't understand how the Polling was this wrong.

14. Spoke too soon

Looks like the polling was accurate. She's pulled ahead by 5%.
