Doesn't measure those who voted for Clinton in the Primary, but Democrats who wanted Clinton to win in the Primary went to Obama 83-16.

I imagine there may have been some who voted Clinton because they were still registered Democrats, even though they were going to vote Republican in the general either way.

CNN had it as one of the questions in their exit polls. It was only Dems who voted for Hillary, not independents or Republicans, so I'll say mid 70's.

It really varied by state though. In the Northern states about 90% of Dem Hillary supporters voted Obama. The Anti-Obama Dems really came in the South. I remember seeing Arkansas's Dem Hillary supporters only giving low 60's support to Obama.

I'm pretty sure that after Election Day, I saw some news site saying that their polls showed that 85% of Hillary supporters voted for Obama. That's pretty close to CNN's estimate. However, I can't remember or find which article/news site said this.
