In an e-mail I just received from CNN:

With about an hour left until most polls close in the Florida presidential primary, early exit polls show the impact of conservatives, gender and Hispanics on the voting among those who responded to questioners.

Two out of three respondents said they were strongly or somewhat supportive of the tea party movement, and a little less than half described themselves as born-again or evangelical Christians.

In the Republican primary, men voted in slightly higher percentage than women, 52%-48%. About 15% of those who voted are Hispanic.

Two out of three said the debates were important to their decision. Just 39% said that the flurry of campaign ads were important.

While most polls close in Florida at 7 p.m., some in the Panhandle region of the state don’t close until 8 p.m. ET. CNN will not make any projections until after all polls close.
