Evangelical voters reportedly account for over 40 percent of the electorate.
(CNN) – Evangelicals in Virginia are voting heavily for Mike Huckabee, a key reason the former Arkansas governor remains in a competitive race there with likely GOP nominee John McCain. According to exit polls, evangelical voters make up more than 40 percent of the electorate and are breaking for Huckabee in the Republican primary by nearly 3 to 1 over McCain — a sign social conservatives remain hesitant to back McCain's candidacy, even as he is all but certain to win his party's nomination. In another sign Huckabee continues to draw values voters, the Arkansas Republican is leading McCain nearly 3 to 1 among those voters who say their top priority is a president who shares their values – CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney Filed under: Exit Polls |
