About 4 in 10 voters in the state's Democratic primary say they consider themselves to be an independent or Republican. That's according to early findings from exit polls conducted for The Associated Press and television networks by Edison Research.

Among those voting in West Virginia's Democratic primary, about a third say they would support presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump over either Clinton or Sanders in November's general election.
