Late support lifts Biden; Sanders keeps his base: Takeaways from Super Tuesday exit polls.
The former vice president had a massive comeback on the biggest night of the primary winning 9 of 15 contests, but Sen. Bernie Sanders is close behind and made huge gains in California., extending his candidacy beyond his southern strongholds as moderates coalesced behind his electability argument. Yet Sen. Bernie Sanders held broad support among issue voters, independents, Hispanics and the young, defining the battleground ahead.
Biden won his expected broad support among black voters, peaking at more than 70% in Alabama and Virginia. He did poorly, also as expected, among Hispanic voters, losing them to Sanders by 47-22% overall, largely owing to their comparative youth. At the same time, Sanders was formidable in his core groups. He won voters younger than 30 by a smashing 58-13% over Biden and those age 30 to 44 by 44-20%. “Very” liberal voters backed him by 47-18%, independents by 38-24%. On one of his signature issues, he won voters who support a government-run, single-payer health care system – 56% of all those who voted – by 43-22% over Biden.

And Sanders fared well among mainline Democrats – a core Biden group – running ahead of the former vice president, 29-20%.
Democratic voters were particularly apt to see socialism favorably. Sixty percent said so, more than in any of the five states where the question was asked, with this group breaking for Sanders by 27 points. Biden won handily among those with an unfavorable opinion, by 48 points over Sanders. Timing played a considerable role in Biden’s victory. Fifty-one percent of Massachusetts voters made their decision in the last few days, second only to Minnesota in states with exit polls today. They voted for Biden, 43%; Warren, 20%; and then Sanders, 18%. Biden also won a substantial 47% of voters 65 and older.Klobuchar’s exit from the contest Monday and subsequent endorsement of Biden paved the way for late-deciding voters to break heavily for the former vice president.
Fifty-four percent of voters called it unfair for candidates to spend unlimited amounts of their own money on their campaigns, vs. 42% who call this fair. Bloomberg did 14 points better among those who called it fair.Biden was buoyed by broad support among moderates, seniors, mainline Democrats and those looking for a return to Barack Obama’s policies.
