Monomoy Regional High School Civics Students conducted an exit poll of the presidential primary today at the Harwich Community Center. A total of 55 students participated, interviewing 193 voters, who were asked about potential general election match-ups, their most important issues, their decision timing, and their opinion of President Trump, as well as their preference in the primary. The poll questions can be found
here. We interviewed about three times as many Democratic voters as Republican, which is not surprising since the Republican primary isn't being strongly contested. Among the Democrats, we found Biden leading with 48%, Warren with 21%, Sanders with 19%, and Bloomberg with 8%. Analyzing by age, Sanders led among voters 18-39, Warren led among those 40-59, and Biden got the most support among those over 60. Among the issues we asked about, Pres. Trump was most likely to get the support of those who cited the economy or taxes as their most important issue, and Biden got the most support of those who cited health care or character issues. Complete results can be seen below. Thank you to all those who took the time to talk to our students today!
