New Hampshire and Iowa are two very different places, but primary voters and Republican caucuses in both states aligned to give former President Donald Trump two wins in the primary nominating contest, exit polls show.
As in Iowa, a large number of New Hampshire GOPers (42%) consider immigration the most important issue in the 2024 race — and Trump won that group by a more than three-to-one margin over former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (73% to 22%), according to Fox News Voter analysis.
The former president also outperformed Haley by double digits (53% to 40%) among the 31% of Granite State voters who said the economy and jobs were the most important issues.
As predicted, Haley won big among New Hampshire’s Republican primary voters who consider themselves independent and lean Democratic.
Undeclared voters comprised 13% of GOP primary voters, and chose Haley over Trump by a count of 60% to 33%.
The margin is even more pronounced among self-proclaimed Democrats, who make up 10% of the electorate and chose Haley 89% to Trump’s 3%.
Haley also leads Trump 63% to 30% among New Hampshire voters who consider foreign policy the most important issue in the 2024 race.
Unfortunately for Haley, however, the group only made up 8% of the primary vote.
