{UAH} With Bernie’s Michigan Win, It’s a Different Democratic Race Now - The Daily Beast
So there are three questions. How did this happen? How could the polls have been so amazingly wrong? And what does it portend?
As for how it happened, the exit polls give us a few answers. Clinton's problem with young voters held pace as Sanders won four out of five voters age 30 and under. But it expanded—in Michigan, he walloped her by 24 points among those between 30 and 39. Thirty-nine isn't so young. So her problem now isn't just with "young voters." It's with virtually all voters who weren't adults when Bill Clinton was first elected.
But Clinton's second—and far bigger—problem in Michigan was with independents. Clinton won among Democrats, but among independents who chose to vote in the Democratic primary and who constituted 28 percent of the electorate, Sanders took a whopping 70 percent.
