According to exit polls, Virginia voters felt McCain was more qualified to be commander-in-chief than Huckabee.

(CNN) – Wealthy Virginia Republicans as well as those worried about the economy carried John McCain to victory there, exit polls indicate.

As has been the case across the country, more Virginia Republican primary voters ranked the economy as their top concern than pointed to any other issue, and those voters broke for McCain by 13 percentage points.

McCain also did well with high-income voters in Virginia. Among those making over $100,000 a year - a group that made up roughly 40 percent of the electorate - McCain beat Huckabee by 26 points.

Voters also felt McCain was qualified to be commander-in-chief than Huckabee. Roughly two-thirds felt the Arizona senator was more ready to be president, while one-third felt Huckabee was better prepared.
