The first "early exit" poll is being reported by left-leaning Politico, which says a plurality of voters so far have voted for "a strong leader," one of the key selling points Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's campaign has been pitching.

According to Politico:

Asked what characteristic is most important for the next president, 36 percent of voters say they want a "strong leader," 29 percent want "a vision for the future," 16 percent want someone who "cares about people like me" and another 16 percent said they want someone who "shares my values."

The percentage of voters thus far who say they want a strong leader—a characterization Donald Trump's team made central to his campaign—is twice the percentage who said they were looking for a strong leader in the 2012 National Election Pool exit poll.
