Michigan Democratic Primary: "Uncommitted" Wins Youth Vote (Updated)

Update: CNN has updated their exit poll and now is putting the race much closer, though Clinton is still losing the youth vote. New stats below.
-----------------------
Turnout was very low due to a combination of bad weather and the fact that neither Barack Obama nor John Edwards were on the ballot, but it is probably worth noting that "uncommitted" beat out Senator Clinton among both 18 - 24 and 25 - 29 year olds. This is somewhat shocking after Clinton seemed to make headway among the 25 - 29 demographic in New Hampshire, but could very easily be due to the fact that, running unopposed, Clinton didn't campaign nearly as hard in Michigan as she did in the Granite State. Nevada and South Carolina will be the real test for Clinton's redoubled youth outreach efforts.

From the CNN Exit poll:

Clinton "Uncommitted"
18 - 24 38% 42% 46% 48%
25 - 29 41% 44% 51% 49%


Young Voters (18 - 29) were 17% of the electorate - the smallest group, but that seems unsurprising considering that this was never a real race like we saw in Iowa and New Hampshire. I'm curious to know whether the lack of election day registration may have played a part as well . . . both Iowa and New Hampshire have election day registration. Michigan does not and the voter rolls closed on December 17th.
