Election at a glance
Analysts suggested the most significant aspect of Mr Obama's success was his broadening appeal across different demographic groups.
Exit polls conducted for AP in Virginia suggested Mr Obama had won the support of two-thirds of men and almost six in 10 women.
Mr Obama also made gains with women voters, who have been a core constituency for Mrs Clinton in past contests, and with white men and Latino voters.
And nine in 10 black voters in Virginia backed the Illinois senator, an even bigger margin than in previous primaries.
The economy was the top issue for both Democratic and Republican voters in the so-called Potomac primary, named after the river that runs through the two states and the nation's capital.
