An exit poll finds two in 10 voters in the West Virginia Democratic primary say Barack Obama shares the views of his fiery former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, "a lot." Another three in 10 say Obama shares Wright's views "somewhat."

The exit polling Tuesday for The Associated Press and television networks found nearly a quarter said Obama shares Wright's views "not much" and another quarter said they don't think the candidate shares his former pastor's views at all.

The survey also finds seven in 10 of Hillary Rodham Clinton's voters supported her idea to suspend the federal gas tax for the summer. Obama opposes the plan and a little more than half of his voters called it a bad idea.
