(CNN) – An interesting dynamic is at play in California: Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are in a tight race, even though Obama is beating Clinton there among both white voters and black voters.
According to our exit polls, Obama is beating Clinton among whites, 49 percent to 43 percent, and among blacks, 81 percent to 16 percent.
How is Clinton in contention? She's overwhelmingly winning among Latinos and Asians. Two-thirds of California Latinos prefer Clinton, while three-fourths of the state’s Asians support her.
Latinos and Asians just may carry the state for her.

here we go with CNN and the race thing again – can your reporting be any more divisive?
shes gonna win from the latino and asian communities.
Si se puede!! Go obama!!
good for her.....all races deserve their voice.
Go Hillary
Please win, Obama! I got your back!
The Latino vote for Clinton (not sure about the Asians) reflects the Latino prejudice against blacks, and not a reasoned approach to who would make a better president.
Obama will win because Hillary is status quo and if he doesnt I am switching parties. I will never vote for Hillary...NEVER
hey people fox news is doing a better job then cnn , do you one top of the news on time go to fox and fair , and they dont attack hillary like cnn those.....
Doesn't seem divisive when the stats are what they are. Statistically valid with these sample sizes, and so large a difference that there are real issues here.
What about the other CNN exit poll finding?
Across every level: the less education, the more likely to vote for Clinton...
Gotto love democracy
hillary!!!!!!!
I love how your title is so completely biased and how you just LOVE to break it down by race. Your inability to acknowledge anything positive for Senator Clinton really leaves a bitter taste in the mouth of this reader.
California for Hillary!
As the numbers show Hillary ahead 55% to 33% at this very moment in California, predictable Bill Schneider leads with the headline "Clinton losing among blacks & whites in California."
IN SPITE OF ALL YOUR EFFORTS.......HILLARY IS WINNING TODAY!!!
Get OVER it!
Why must we focus so much on race?? I don't see the republicans dividing up their votes by race! If we don't stand together as a Democratic Party, we will NOT win in November. We need to STOP playing into this divide and conquer scheme. We can't afford to have another republican in the White House!
where is the african american percentage votes on the projected exit poll page; I see the white, latino, and other percentages, but there's no african american percentages
Of course she is winning in those areas, look at the history of the Clinton's. Who are we kidding, Obama is good and honest. We don't elect good and honest. We elect liars, cheaters and people with connections with the lobbiest. When are we going to learn. We were given a chance for change and we took same old thing.
Umm, I don't get. All this reporting about exit polls and Obama winning this demographic or the other...yet results show Clinton up by over 20% points. Are the people at CNN in denial of the incoming results? It's a landslide so far
At 8:41 with 10% reporting in, Clinton already has a 56% to 33% lead in California. So much for polls.
Go Hillary!!! You certainly got my vote in California tonight! The early returns are looking great.....
I think the question you should be asking is, "Could our voting tendencies be any more divisive?"
sheisme – good we don't need you anyway! Go Hillary Go.......
Go Hillary!!!!!
CNN could not possibly be more biased. Headline is "Clinton losing among whites and blacks", rather than "Clintons winning among asians and latinos".
How about, for once, the media simply reports, rather than trying to influence?
You make me sick to my stomach.
the country would be so much better off if these fortune tellers would go home and take their balls with them–if a person twitches an eyebrow they want to tell us all eye twitchers are for this candidate-get a life and let the final count be the only measure to digest!!!
Everyone should vote for the candidate they see fit for any reason they see fit because this is America!!!
