More voters in Tuesday's Democratic primaries trust Biden than Sanders in major crisis: exit poll
WASHINGTON - With their candidate on the ropes, supporters of Bernie Sanders again failed to show up when it mattered on Tuesday as Democrats held six presidential nominating contests, including the big prize of Michigan, according to exit polling by Edison Research.
Young voters and white men - two groups among whom Sanders has attracted strong support - made up roughly the same proportion of turnout as they did in 2016 in Michigan, Missouri and Mississippi, the three states where Edison has data in both years. So far, that has not happened in states that have voted this year. Biden won the lion’s share of the delegates in last week’s Super Tuesday contests when 14 states voted.
Stocks on Monday suffered their biggest one-day drop since the 2008 financial crisis before recovering somewhat on Tuesday. Here are other highlights from Edison’s exit polling in Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi and Washington. Edison did not conduct voter surveys in Idaho or North Dakota, which also held nominating contests on Tuesday.** Sanders won large majorities of voters under 30 years old in Michigan, Missouri and Mississippi, yet that group had a smaller impact on the results this year.
** Most Democratic primary voters said they would line up behind the party’s nominee regardless of who it is. That includes nine out of 10 voters in Washington and eight out of 10 voters in Michigan and Missouri.
