Exit Polls Show Why Huck’s Doing Well In Virginia

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Conservatism, Huckabee, McCain, Virginia

Nearly seven in 10 voters in Virginia’s Republican primary called themselves conservatives. Mike Huckabee won half of their votes, including two-thirds of those who called themselves “very conservative.” Four in 10 Virginia Republican voters were born-again evangelical Christians, and they strongly supported Huckabee over John McCain. Huckabee won the votes of two-thirds of those who said they were looking for a candidate who shared their values. McCain won the votes of two-thirds of moderates and almost half of those who called themselves “somewhat conservative.”

McCain just can’t close the deal with these voters and Huck is riding the wave.
