(CNN) — Florida Republican voters who consider themselves the most conservative were siding more often with Romney, while those who said they were more moderate were leaning toward McCain in early exit polling in the state — a key split between the two GOP frontrunners. Forty percent of poll respondents who called themselves conservative or very conservative said they voted for Romney compared to 27 percent for McCain, 15 percent for Huckabee and 13 percent for Giuliani. Among those who said they are politically moderate, 41 percent opted for McCain, followed by 22 percent for Giuliani, 19 percent for Romney and 9 percent for Huckabee. Among Democrats, both self-styled liberals and moderates were leaning toward New York Sen. Hillary Clinton. She garnered 55 percent of moderates who were polled, compared to 28 percent for Illinois Sen. Barack Obama and 15 percent for former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards. Among liberals, Clinton got 53 percent of the vote, with Obama getting 36 percent and Edwards garnering 9 percent of those votes. Filed under: Exit Polls Florida |
