Quote:

McCain holds significant leads across most other Republican sub-groups. One exception is among born-again Christians, where McCain is in a virtual tie with Huckabee (McCain 28% vs. 26% for Huckabee). Romney is running a close third among this segment, with 21% of the vote.

McCain also has a somewhat larger lead among younger voters age 18-49 (9 points) and voters age 50-64 (10 points). Among Republicans age 65 or older, McCain's lead narrows to three points. There are no differences in preferences by gender.

McCain's lead is smaller (6 points) among the very large majority of Republicans (82%) who are white non-Hispanic than among the small proportion of ethnic voters (13 points).

The Arizona Senator's lead is nine points among voters living in California's coastal counties, but just five points than among inland voters. He also holds a larger lead in Northern California (12 points) than in Southern California (6 points).
