There is no gender gap This distribution of the voters by gender is off by 3% when compared to the SurveyUSA model in its last poll before the primary (female 58%, male 42%). The gender gap (either way) is not as pronounced in the exit polling.
Barack Obama took the 18-29 year old vote (14% of those voting) 59% to 33%. Obama also took the 30-44 year old vote (26% of those voting) 52% to 41%. Hillary Clinton took the 45-59 year old vote (30% of those voting) 48% to 45%. Clinton also took the 60 and older vote (31% of those voting) 58% to 34%.
Barack Obama took the 18-29 year old vote (14% of those voting) 65% to 30%. Obama also took the 30-44 year old vote (27% of those voting) 56% to 42%. They tied the 45-59 year old vote (29% of those voting) at 49%. Hillary Clinton took the 60 and older vote (29% of those voting) 61% to 36%.
(That’s the last time I post exit polling numbers on the night of an election.)

Here is another important set of numbers

Democratic ballots — 3942
Johnson County is turning blue!
Just an observation which I experienced knocking on some doors.
Midwestern women are not as inclined to vote for Clinton as women on the coasts. (See Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, and Minnesota for evidence.)
I wonder why.
