With 92% of precincts reporting, the California Democrat vote has gone to Hillary Clinton by 52% to Barack Obama’s 42%.Some media is saying that the Latino and Asian vote in the state is to thank for the Clinton victory.
Early exit polls indicated that Sen. Barack Obama was carrying the white voter in California because of his overwhelming support among white men. White women, as in other states, more often were backing Clinton.
Black voters overwhelmingly favor Obama but Asian voters, whose numbers are comparable to blacks in the most populous state, went overwhelmingly for Clinton.
The deciding factor may be Latinos, who make up roughly 30 percent of California’s Democratic vote. They were going for Clinton by a two-to-one margin.
