the evidence seem to support what he told us. i don t need to look him in the eye. sanford police won t comment on whether they put him through such a test when they questioned him but do say they use it as do other police departments. how reliable are they? we contacted an expert who did a study of the devices when used to question suspects about drug use. he says their ability to detect deception is, i m quoting now, no better than flipping a coin. again, we don t know whether the sanford police department subjected zimmerman to such a test nor if they used it as a basis for not charging him. we do know that the lead investigator had suspicions about his story. and now, the mother of a 13-year-old witness to the incident says that same investigator told her so. the lead investigator from the sanford police department stood in my family room and told me this was absolutely not self-defense and they needed to prove it. he told me, and i m paraphrasing this quote, but read
you shortly. let s put up on the screen right now the exit poll information for maryland. here is why we could make this projection that mitt romney is the winner in maryland. take a look at this. based on the exit polls, what people were telling us as they left the polling booths throughout the day, 49% in maryland said they were voting they already had voted in fact for mitt romney, 28% for rick santorum, 11% for newt gingrich, 10% for ron paul. based on those exit poll numbers, we are able to make the projection that mitt romney, the former governor of massachusetts, is the winner in maryland. not a huge surprise, but an important win for mitt romney. an important win also because of whom he won with, wolf. look at maryland over here, the state that tends to vote democratic. but look at what our exit polls showed in terms of how people responded to all of this. look at this. very conservative voters, somewhat conservative, moderate or liberal. look what they did in mar
are not yet able to make a projection, piers. let s give it a little time for some more official numbers to come in. once they come in based on those numbers and these exit poll numbers, we ll be in a better position to make a projection. wolf acti, you re making thi sound as exciting as you always do but you are a master of this process. are we at the end game? if mitt romney was to win all three tonight, this is pretty much game over, isn t it? not necessarily. it s almost game over. pennsylvania april 23rd, if santorum loses his home state, then it s game over. if he wins in pennsylvania, you know, mitt romney still won t be at that 1,144 delegate number that he needs to officially sew up the nomination. and in may there are some states like texas, for example, kentucky, arkansas, where santorum presumably has an advantage, so he ll continue. a lot of the establishment republicans, a lot of the pundits think it s game over. let s see what the voters have to say. i don
crunching the numbers. so, tom, what with are the numbers showing you? oh, man. they show us what s behind that map are some real trends they have to pay attention to. number one is the economy. look at this. that was the big issue that everyone was voting on. 51% of the people that we surveyed said that was the big issue for them there. look at what happened there. we break it down by how much money they make. various categories. the biggest group is here. look n all of these groups, rick santorum won every one except for the people who make more than $200,000 a year. and he won big. if you look at this group, 30 to 50,000, he won 49% to romney s 21%. newt gingrich did better than mitt romney in this category. go to the lowest end group here and look at this, 65% to 13%. sure, mitt romney won a little bit, but down here his win not so impressive. 46% to santorum s 31%. when you are talking about one of the state s in the country with some of the lowest per capita income, w
