WARNING: Early exit polls are incomplete, and they should be interpreted with caution. They only include interviews with voters who cast ballots earlier in the day, which could underrepresent certain groups. And the networks don’t release full results before polls have closed statewide; they only tease out certain numbers, some of which will shift significantly in the final survey.

Majorities of Republican voters in Ohio and North Carolina say they feel betrayed by their party, according to an early CNN exit poll Tuesday evening.

In North Carolina, 56 percent said they felt betrayed, while 40 percent said they did not. In Ohio, 57 percent of voters said they felt betrayed, while 38 percent said they did not.

As far as what they would suggest in the way of a solution, 54 percent of North Carolina GOP voters said they preferred someone with experience outside of government, while a smaller share of 38 percent said they wanted someone with government experience.

A slightly higher share of Ohio voters (43 percent) said they preferred a candidate with experience—a potentially auspicious result for home-state Gov. John Kasich. But another 50 percent said they preferred a candidate with non-government pedigree.

CNN's exit polls suggested no clear top concern from Republican voters surveyed, though jobs and the economy finished atop the list by narrow margins in each state. In Florida, 35 percent cited jobs and the economy, 12 percent immigration, 23 percent terrorism and 25 percent government spending. In Missouri, 34 percent cited jobs, 10 percent immigration, 21 percent terrorism and 32 percent government spending.

Thirty-eight percent of North Carolina GOP voters pointed to the economy, 9 percent to immigration, 22 percent terrorism and 29 percent government spending. In Ohio, 37 percent answered the economy, while 8 percent did so for immigration, 21 percent for terrorism and 30 percent government spending.
