6:40 p.m. Exit polls conducted for the major news networks in several states tonight found that Hillary Clinton gets high marks in the South on ideology, but struggles at times with being considered “honest and trustworthy.”
Southern state voters see a better ideological fit with Clinton than with Sanders. Six in 10 to seven in 10 say Clinton’s positions on the issues are about right. In contrast, about four in 10 to six in 10 think Sanders’ positions are about right, vs. a quarter to a third who say he’s too liberal. Sanders’ views generally fit much better with voters in Vermont and Massachusetts, as they did previously in New Hampshire. …
Clinton continues to have some challenges in views of her honesty. In five states today (MA, OK, TN, TX and CT) more voters say Bernie Sanders is honest and trustworthy than say the same about her.
This post will be updated with non-Georgia results all night with a focus on the South.
