WASHINGTON (AP) - In eight of nine states where exit polls were conducted Tuesday, Democratic voters were more likely to want a continuation of President Barack Obama's policies than a switch to more liberal policies.
According to early results of the exit polls conducted for the Associated Press and television networks by Edison Research, majorities of Democratic voters in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Virginia want a continuation of Obama's policies, along with more than 4 in 10 voters in Arkansas, Massachusetts, Oklahoma and Texas.
In each of those states, about a third of Democratic voters or less want a switch to more liberal policies.
In Vermont, about half of Democratic primary voters said they want the next president to change to more liberal policies.
