Still doubtful of that margin though. Also wonder what portion of the electorate they make up. I think high AA vote and split white vote may neutralize that IF true. Their polls of hispanics have been off all year though, they don't quite seem to have a handle on that yet.

AA voters make up at least 1/4 of the voters in all states except NC where they make up 1/3. Continue Obama's policies is beating out more liberal in all states but Ohio (I think, might be Illinois, have to check again). We may be looking a a big night for Clinton.

Majorities of Democrats in every state except Ohio said they would like to see the next president continue President Barack Obama's policies -- in Ohio, it was roughly half.

Among Democrats, Florida was the only state where the majority of voters were non-white, compared with about 4 in 10 in Illinois, about one-third in Missouri and North Carolina and about one-quarter in Ohio.

About 1 in 5 Democratic voters in each state said they made up their minds in the final days of the campaign

These exits if they hold are pointing to a Clinton blowout tbh. Also, the cross over vote in Ohio made the overall dem primary voters more democratic. This indicates to me that she'll probably carry Ohio. These exits look way better than Michigan, where by now I already knew we were in trouble.

20. ABC exit polls
Tue Mar 15, 2016, 06:17 PM

Obama policies:

One question to watch is whether voters want the next president to continue Barack Obama’s policies or to pursue more liberal ones. Hillary Clinton’s won the former group in previous states by 3-1, while Bernie Sanders has won by 2-1 among the latter. In preliminary results today, more than half overall want to continue Obama’s policies – but not a majority in Ohio.

Demographics:

Age, race and partisanship have been important in the Democratic contests to date, with Sanders running strongly among young voters and independents, Clinton among minorities and mainline Democrats. Further, part of Sanders’ performance in Michigan came on the basis of his comparatively strong showing among young black voters – a group to watch tonight.

Free trade:

Sanders took advantage of economic worries in his surprise victory in Michigan last week. Among other results, 57 percent of Democratic voters said free trade takes more jobs than it creates, and Sanders won them over Clinton by 15 percentage points, 56-41 percent. Today, in preliminary exit poll results, a similar number in Ohio likewise see free trade as a negative, vs. fewer than half in Illinois, Missouri and North Carolina. Worth keeping an eye on as the night unfolds is how these anti-free-traders vote, especially in Ohio.

Pro-business?

Sanders, relatedly, has sought to label Clinton as too pro-business, and this helped him in Michigan. But, in preliminary exit poll results today, similar numbers of Democrats see Clinton as too pro-business as see Sanders as too anti-business, including in the battleground state of Ohio.

Attributes:

Sanders also was helped in Michigan by the fact that six in 10 voters picked either honesty or empathy as the most important candidates attributes in their vote, higher than the average so far. In today’s states, more than half are focused on those traits, peaking at six in 10 in Illinois and Missouri and bottoming out at fewer than half in Florida. (Clinton, for her part, has dominated in previous contests among those focused on experience or electability.)

Beat Trump:

Another new item cuts to electability: In preliminary results, two-thirds of voters across today’s five primaries give Hillary Clinton a better chance of defeating Donald Trump in November if he were the nominee. Only three in 10 say the same of Sanders.

But there are some differences in this result across primaries: A high of three-quarters in Florida pick Clinton as better able to beat Trump, while this shifts down to about six in 10 in Ohio and Missouri. But, in all cases today, voters thought Clinton had a better chance than Sanders.

Honesty:

That said, electability has not been a key voter concern, and Clinton’s been vulnerable on the question of honesty and trustworthiness. Across today’s states, only six in 10 Democratic voters in preliminary exit poll results describe Clinton as honest and trustworthy, while eight in 10 say that about Sanders. Sanders is considered more honest in all five states today, including by a wide margin in Missouri, but also by double-digits in Ohio.

Views on this attribute differed sharply last week: In Michigan, where Sanders pulled off an upset win, 81 percent saw him as honest and trustworthy, while just 56 percent said the same about Clinton. The tables were turned – albeit not so sharply – in Mississippi.

Getting real:

Another question is whether Clinton has gained any ground by pushing back against the plausibility of Sanders’ policy proposals, measured in a set of new questions asking whether each candidate’s policies are realistic. To some extent it appears she has. Across states today, three-quarters say Clinton’s policies are realistic, fewer, just more than half, say the same about Sanders’. There’s a range across states, though, in ratings of Sanders’ policies, with the biggest gaps in Clinton’s favor in Florida and North Carolina and the smaller ones in Illinois and Missouri, with Ohio in the middle.

The wide majority of Democratic primary voters said they decided who to vote for before a month ago: the percentage ranges from 57 percent in Illinois to 69 percent in Florida. About a quarter of Democratic primary voters made their decision in the last week: in Florida, it was 16 percent; in Illinois, 24 percent; in Missouri, 22 percent; in North Carolina, 25 percent; and in Ohio, 23 percent.
