Election Center 2008: Wisconsin Primary Exit Polls
I went through all six pages of results, and I have concluded that the light looks very dim for Hillary. Barack dominated every single significant demographic except two. Hillary won seniors, and they split the female vote 50/50.

In every other Hillary stronghold, Barack won. He won the low income white voters. He won the union people. He won the least educated voters. When people were asked to name their most important issue, Barack showed just about equal strength from all groups, not matter which issue they named.

And, of course, Barack won his strong areas by crushing margins. Among people under 30, he won 70-26. Among men, he won 67-31.

HOWEVER. It is worth noting that Wisconsin was an open primary. Barack won the independent voters 64-33 and the Republicans 72-28, but Hillary won white Democrats 51-48.
