Michigan -- The Exit Poll Results

The Main Stream Media may love John McCain, but Republican voters do not.  Michigan is the fourth state in a row where John McCain lost the Republican vote to another GOP candidate.  In Michigan is wasn't even close.  Republicans rejected Senator McCain in Michigan decisively, with 3 out of 4 Republican voters giving a thumbs down to the "front running" Arizona Senator, exit polling shows.  What was once a trend -- McCain lost among Republican voters even in New Hampshire -- is now a consistent pattern.  The choice of Republican voters -- especially non-evangelical Republicans -- was once again Mitt Romney.  Romney out-polled McCain 41% to 27% among the GOP in Michigan.  McCain proved again which voters he does attract -- those dissatisfied with the war in Iraq, and those who disapprove of President Bush.  McCain once again handily won the anti-Bush and anti-Iraq vote.

Other poll results:

  • 9 out of 10 very conservative voters voted against John McCain.
  • Ron Paul took 19% of the under 30 vote.
  • Old Man McCain was the favorite of the over 60 crowd.
  • Huckabee took 29% of the evangelical vote, only 8% of the non-evangelicals.
  • 12% of voters picked Ron Paul as the candidate "who is most likely to bring needed change to the country" -- but of those voters less than half voted for Paul.
