The minority vote (hispanic & black) is hugely for Gingrich over Romney. Also, the <65 years vote is in favor of Gingrich, and the younger you get the more in favor of Gingrich.
The black vote and the youth vote really surprised me in terms of Gingrich/Romney.

Newt will be the super high tech, pro space, anti SOPA candidate.
They favor Newt because he isn’t walking around with a self-assigned halo on his head!
It probably has more to do with income. Mitt only does well with those earning more than $200,000 a year. The poorer someone is, the more they dislike Romney based on exit polls. Young people and minorities are disproportionately poor, and thus your observation :)

It is the difference between the Dutch uncle who scolds you but at the end of the day wants to see you prosperous and independent, versus the manager who chisels your hours, skims your tips, and ultimately fires you so that his nephew can take your job.
