Exit poll: Men fuel Trump, Sanders Indiana primary victories

<snip>

"On the Democratic side, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders beat former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by also drawing support from men and younger voters, according to early findings from exit polls conducted for The Associated Press and television networks by Edison Research.

The exit polls also show that Democrats say they're energized and optimistic about their party's nomination process, while Republicans say they're worried their party is being torn apart."

"Most men supported Sanders, while women were about equally divided between him and Clinton. Two-thirds of voters under 45 voted for Sanders, while 6 in 10 of those 45 and over voted for Clinton.

Three-quarters of black voters supported Clinton, but they were far outnumbered by white voters, nearly 6 in 10 of whom supported Sanders. Nearly two-thirds of white voters without a college degree supported Sanders.

A majority of self-described Democrats supported Clinton, but 7 in 10 self-described independents supported Sanders. Six in 10 of those who said they are very liberal supported Sanders, while Clinton was supported by moderates.

Among Sanders voters, nearly half said they think he will win the nomination. Nearly all Clinton voters think she will. Still, voters consider Sanders more inspirational and honest, but they see Clinton as more realistic and electable."
