Exit poll: Indiana Dems excited, optimistic, GOP divided

WASHINGTON (AP) — Indiana Democrats voting in the state's primary on Tuesday say they're energized and optimistic about their party's nomination process, while Republicans say they're worried their party is being torn apart.

[...] most say they don't see much of a fairness issue in the GOP nomination process or much of a difference in the political tactics employed so far by different candidates in the presidential race.

About 7 in 10 Democrats say they would be excited or at least optimistic about either a Clinton or Sanders presidency, while only about half of Indiana GOP voters are excited or even optimistic about any of the remaining Republican candidates becoming president.

When it comes to the Republican nomination process, only a third of GOP voters say it's been unfair.

[...] about two-thirds of Republican primary voters think the candidate with the most support heading into their party's nominating convention should be the nominee, even without the majority of delegates as required by party rules.

The survey was conducted for The Associated Press and television networks by Edison Research as voters left their polling places at 35 randomly selected sites in Indiana.

The results among all those voting in each contest have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 5 percentage points for the Democratic primary and plus or minus 4 percentage points for the Republican primary.
