Clinton won across the board in Mississippi with record or near-record support from whites as well as overwhelming backing from the states majority black electorate, according to preliminary exit poll results.
Black turnout as a share of the total was up this year, to six in 10 voters from half in the 2008 Democratic primary. Clinton fared characteristically well in this group, with nearly nine in ten of their votes. Notably, though, Clinton also won whites in Mississippi by nearly a 2-1 margin. If the data hold in later results, thatll be her best showing among whites in any state to date.
Clinton again dominated among women, winning them by a 4-1 margin, matching her high this cycle. But while shes been weaker among men in other states, she won three-quarters of them here.
In addition to blacks, turnout among mainline Democrats as a percentage of all primary voters was up this year, to more than eight in 10. Theyve strongly favored Clinton in previous contests this season, and continued to do so here. And, tellingly, seven in 10 Democratic voters said they want the next president generally to continue Barack Obamas policies nearly 20 points more than the average this year. Eight in 10 of them voted for Clinton.
