What Went Down On Super Tuesday
Looking at the age distribution in the states for which we have preliminary exit poll data, we can see that Minnesota had the largest share of voters under 30, while Oklahoma and Alabama were on the older side, with the smallest share of under-30s and, in Oklahoma’s case, the largest share of voters over 65.
Looks like results might be delayed a bit in North Carolina.
As Geoff wrote, there’s quite a large difference in vote share for Biden and Sanders between those who decided early and those who decided late — particularly in Vermont. Yet more support for the last-minute Biden surge.
