WASHINGTON (AP) - Large majorities of Republican primary voters across nine states have negative feelings toward the federal government.
But whether they're more dissatisfied or more angry varies by state.
According to early results of exit polls conducted for The Associated Press and television networks by Edison Research, at least 8 in 10 GOP primary voters in each state feel down on the way the federal government is working.
The dissatisfied outnumbered the angry and accounted for a half or more of Republican voters in Virginia, Vermont and Massachusetts.
In Texas, half of GOP primary voters said they were angry.
In Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Oklahoma and Tennessee, GOP voters were more evenly split between dissatisfaction and anger.
