With 89 percent of precincts in, George W. Bush leads South Carolina with about 58 percent to John Kerry's 41 percent. Exit polls show values and terrorism, Iraq, and the economy as top issues, while women split more pro Kerry and men largely back Bush. The state’s voting pattern reinforces GOP control of statewide offices and a long Republican streak.
