Commentary

Democrat

In the most Catholic state in the nation, Clinton won the support of two-thirds of Catholics, who constituted 55 percent of Democratic primary turnout. Protestants, constituting 23 percent, gave 58 percent of their votes to Clinton. Obama prevailed only among Nones (13 percent), with 60 percent of their vote. Among attendance categories, Clinton prevailed strongly except among the Nevers, where she and Obama broke even.

Republican

No exit poll in a contest that was expected to go, and did go, overwhelmingly McCain’s way.
