Washington State Exit Polls

According to the exit polls for the state of Washington, the Latino, Asian and Other minorities(excluding blacks) polled higher than white people when it came to voting for President Bush. 

I am curious as to why?  Maybe someone from Washington could help me understand.  Let's assume the exit poll is close to accurate.

According to CNN's exit polls whites went for  Kerry 52-46, Hispanics for Kerry 52-48, & Asians went for Kerry 67-33 (not sure where you got your Asian data from)  the other category went for Bush 51-47 however.

Because they probably only polled like 10 people.

There's no way Bush won the Native American vote but lost the white vote. It just doesn't make sense.

Honestly, I can't tell you.

They had 6% for both non-white men and women, or a decent 131 people in the exit poll. Non-white men went Bush 59-40. Non-white women went Kerry 74-24.

That just isn't possible, really. It must have been an exit polling screw-up.

Anything is possible, but that does seem odd.  Washington is the only
state where the minority popluation went more for Bush than the white population that I could find.

I think you're incorrect about Asians.

Only Hispanics and Other went to Bush higher than whites.

Hispanics isn't too surprising. The most hispanic county in the state was Bush's best county.
