Super Tuesday live updates: Biden projected to win Oklahoma, Tennessee as piles up delegates

The first batch of exit polls in 12 of the 14 states holding Democratic primaries Tuesday cast some light on what voters are considering when casting their ballots.

In all 12 of those states (data is not available yet for Arkansas and Utah), voters chose health care as their top concern among four issues. The other issues were climate change, income inequality and race relations.

The exit survey also asked this question: “How do you feel about replacing all private health insurance with a single government plan for everyone?” A majority of respondents in those dozen states said they support such a system.

Of course, some states felt stronger about the proposal than others. It’s been a central question in the race, as Sen. Bernie Sanders has championed a single-payer system and Joe Biden has criticized such a plan.

Here’s how those answers stacked up in every state, listed from the largest to smallest delegate haul.
