In the category of exit polling that’s not likely to get as much attention tonight:

“Standing up for what he believes” was the quality that mattered most to about 3 in 10 voters, with the ability to defeat President Bush most important to about 2 in 10.

When the question was put slightly differently — asking voters whether defeating President Bush or agreeing with a candidate on the major issues was more important — more than half the voters said that agreeing with the candidate was more important. Just over a third said the ability to defeat Mr. Bush was more important, while the rest had no answer.

In the same category, Gephardt is polling between Kucinich and Sharpton.
