New Hampshire and Iowa are two very different places, but Republican primary and caucus voters in both states were similarly aligned in handing former President Donald Trump two victories in the leadoff nominating contests, exit polls show.
As in Iowa, a plurality of New Hampshire GOPers (42%) considered immigration the most important issue in the 2024 race — and Trump won that group by a margin of more than three-to-one over former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (73% to 22%), according to the Fox News Voter analysis.
The former president also bested 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 Republican New Hampshire primary voters who considered themselves independent and Democratic-leaning.
