Women made up 58 percent of the electorate in Wisconsin, and they have been a key Clinton constituency throughout the campaign. But rather than winning them, as she has in key contests, the two candidates split the group last night. Obama, meanwhile, won men by more than 30 percentage points. He did as well with white men as he has done in any state other than Utah. Among white women, Clinton had only a narrow edge last night. In 24 previous contests where there have been Democratic exit polls, she carried white women by double digits 19 times. Obama won the votes of those earning less than $50,000 and got about half of white voters without a college degree, his best showing in any major contest.
