Supplementary notes
The National Election Pool is a consortium of ABC News, Associated Press, CBS News, CNN, Fox News and NBC News.
Percentage points may not total 100 percent as the sample size for some groups may be too small for estimates within those groups to be projectable with confidence.
The graph shows only candidates that could collect at least one percent of votes across all groups.
Two percent of those surveyed identified as conservative, however no results were generated from this group that could be reported with confidence.
