interesting primary vote analysis for Massachusetts
The exit polls in Massachusetts, which Clinton won narrowly, are fascinating. Here are some highlights:
Sanders got 41% of non-white voters (they don’t break down the category further). I want to come back to this.
Sanders beat Clinton among voters making under $50k, and voters making between $50k and $100k.
The only income group she won was voters making over $100k.
Among first-time voters, Sanders got a whopping 71% of the vote.
Among independents, Sanders got 65% of the votes.
Sanders won among very liberal voters and moderate voters.
Clinton did better among married women than she did among unmarried women.
