Several distinct patterns are emerging in the combined early exit polling from the states holding primaries today: –Worries About The Economy The economy is the top issue for both Democrats and Republicans. Democrats overwhelmingly – but also a majority of Republicans – see the nation's economic condition as being "not so good" or "poor." The #2 issue for Democrats is the war in Iraq. The #2 issue for Republicans is illegal immigration. –Change Democratic voters say the quality that matters for them most in a candidate is that he/she "can bring about needed change." "Having the right experience" is a distance second. Republicans most often look for a candidate who "shares their values," followed by "has the right experience" and "says what he believes."
