It's the Brian Mayer Show on WNYC. Good morning everyone. On this day between the

South Carolina and Michigan primaries, here are three things that I noticed

from the South Carolina exit polls on Saturday that might be worth mentioning.

I haven't heard these talked about very much just the fact that Trump beat Haley by 20 points, but she's staying in the race.

But listen to these contrasts.

Around two-thirds of Trump voters in the exit polls

said they want a national abortion ban covering all or most abortions.

Those are the Trump voters.

About the same share of Haley voters, about two-thirds of them,

oppose a national ban.

That's a really big split, right?

And maybe a defining split in 2024

between two pretty big blocks of Republicans.

Could mean something in November for the general election

with national limits on abortion being reportedly considered by

Trump as a campaign platform. Another one was about the economy and listen to

this disconnect only about one out of every six

of all the South Carolina primary voters polled so a tiny percentage of voters said the

nation's economy is in good shape.

But on their own personal finances, about 80% said their own financial situations are good or

at least neutral.

So their perception is so much worse
