Hispanics and late deciders went big for Hillary Clinton in Texas Tuesday, according to exit polling of the Democratic primaries.

On the Republican side, voters are split over whether John McCain is conservative enough, while evangelical voters are also splitting their votes in Ohio and Texas between McCain and his only remaining rival, Mike Huckabee.

For Democrats, Latino voters in Texas make up 32 percent of the vote in that state and they were breaking 64 percent for Clinton to 35 percent for Barack Obama. Broken down, Obama captured younger Hispanics by double digits, while older Hispanics preferred Clinton 2 to 1, according to the polling.

Meanwhile, Clinton’s so-called “3 a.m. phone ad” might have made an impact, as late deciders — those voters who made up their minds in the last three days — were going for Clinton 66 percent to 34 percent for Obama.

Women voters were also remaining strong for Clinton, 54 percent to 46 percent in Texas,
In Ohio, the economy emerged as the primary issue for voters in the Democratic contest, with 59 percent saying it was the most important issue facing the country today. Of those voters, 52 percent were going for Clinton over 46 percent for Obama.

On the issue of international trade, 81 percent of voters in Ohio said it took jobs away from, while only 10 percent said it creates more jobs for the state.

Voters who say they belong to a union household — 34 percent — went for Clinton 56 percent to 43 percent for Obama.

On the Republican side, large majorities of voters in Texas and Ohio say they are satisfied with McCain, who is seeking to lock in the nomination after Tuesday’s contests. In Ohio 71 percent said they are satisfied, while in Texas, 75 percent are satisfied with McCain.

In Ohio, 47 percent said McCain is conservative enough, but 42 percent said no. In Texas, 46 percent said his conservative credentials were in order, while 44 percent said no.

Evangelical voters are split — in Ohio, where these voters make up 42 percent of the GOP vote, 49 percent are going with Huckabee, according to the polling, while 44 percent were going with McCain. In Texas, evangelicals make up 51 percent of Republican voters, and of them, 45 percent were breaking with Huckabee, while 44 percent were going with McCain.

Of GOP voters in Ohio, 17 percent said age was indeed a factor in their decision — McCain is 71 — while 81 percent said it did not matter. In Texas, 11 percent said age was a factor, while 88 percent said they didn’t worry about it.

It looks as though the 'George Wallace campaign' [(c) Jasonrh] has worked for Hillary. Expect more and more attack ads and negative smear campaigning against Obama from now on.
