| Description | An unusually heavy Republican turnout and a late surge in support from independents helped John Edwards battle John Kerry to a close finish in Wisconsin's Democratic primary, an Associated Press exit poll found.
In an open primary on a day with general elections for races including one for mayor in Milwaukee and a casino gambling referendum in Madison, one in 10 voters in the primary described themselves as Republicans — and Edwards won as many Republican votes as did Kerry and Howard Dean combined. The Republican turnout was the biggest of any Democratic primary so far this year.
Three-quarters of Edwards voters said they'd decided to back him in the last week, while six in 10 Kerry supporters said they decided to do so a month or more ago. Of those who said they decided within the last three days but not Tuesday, half voted for Edwards, compared to less than a quarter for Kerry. |
