Exit poll: Economy top issue for West Virginia voters

In the state's Democratic primary, a significant portion of voters said they were not Democrats. In Nebraska, where voters are going to the polls in the state's Republican primary, the overwhelmingly majority say their party is divided and a significant portion don't see that as changing by November. About two-thirds of the state's Republican primary voters and more than half of Democratic primary voters say trade with other countries mostly takes jobs from American workers. Just 6 in 10 of those voting in the West Virginia Democratic primary say they're Democrats, while the rest say they identify either as independents or Republicans. About 6 in 10 GOP voters in the state say it's very likely the billionaire would beat Clinton in West Virginia in the general election. Voters in the West Virginia Democratic primary are more likely to want the next president to have less liberal policies than more liberal policies or a continuation of President Barack Obama's policies. The surveys were conducted for The Associated Press and television networks by Edison Research as voters left their polling places at 25 randomly selected sites in West Virginia and 20 in Nebraska. The results among all those voting in each contest have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 7 percentage points in West Virginia and plus or minus 5 percentage points in Nebraska.
