An Associated Press exit poll shows voter worries about the economy and their strong desire for change helped Democratic Sen. Barack Obama carry Delaware and its 3 electoral votes.
An overwhelming number of voters said the condition of the nation's economy is either
not so good or poor. The poll shows 3 out of 5 of those voters voted for Obama.
According to the poll, about 2 out of 5 voters said the quality that mattered most
was the candidate's ability to bring needed
change. Obama earned the votes of all but a small percentage of these voters, the poll
found.
Obama beat Republican Sen. John McCain in every age and income group. Obama edged
McCain with male voters, and received the votes of 7 out of 10 women.
The exit poll of 716 Delaware voters was conducted for AP by Edison Media Research
and Mitofsky International in a random sample of 15 precincts statewide. Results were
subject to sampling error of plus or minus 5 percentage points, higher for subgroups.
