Trump will win! Everyone vote for Trump!

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Donald Trump had rock-solid support
from the party faithful in his primary victory Tuesday, with even most
backers of rival Nikki Haley acknowledging the GOP belongs to him.

Yet as Trump’s hold on securing the party’s nomination tightened, AP
VoteCast found that some voters express concerns that he is too extreme to compete in the November general election. Some also worry about his legal
peril in pending criminal trials.

Haley, a former South Carolina governor and a U.N. ambassador under Trump, bested him among college graduates and moderates, a possible sign that
Trump has yet to expand his political base.

The survey found signs that primary voters on the Democratic side rallied around President Joe Biden. He won in New Hampshire with strong support on
the economy, but many have concerns about his age — he is 81 — and his
handling of the situation in the Middle East.

Only weeks into 2024, voters have already shown an awareness of Trump’s strengths and liabilities. But even as the coronavirus, the major
challenge during the 2020 election, has faded from public view, the
cultural and social forces of that Biden-Trump matchup have hardened in
ways that are testing the country’s sense of itself.

The New Hampshire primaries are unique because undeclared voters –- those
not affiliated with either party –- can choose to vote in either party’s primary. This draws in voters who are not necessarily party loyalists.

Nearly half of GOP primary voters were not affiliated with a party,
compared with about 2 in 10 in the Democratic primary. Among those
affiliated with the Republican Party in the state, Trump won handily.

AP VoteCast is a survey of 1,989 New Hampshire voters who took part in the Republican primary and 915 Democratic primary voters. The survey was
conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

HOW TRUMP WON IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
New Hampshire’s demographics favored Trump.

He won in the small towns and rural communities, where about 6 in 10
primary participants say they live. Most GOP voters in the state lack a
college degree; about two-thirds of them voted for Trump. He won about 7
in 10 Republican voters who identified as conservatives.

Trump was backed by Republicans who prioritize immigration and held a
slight advantage among those prioritizing the economy, the two top issues
among GOP voters in New Hampshire and Iowa, where the former president won
the leadoff caucuses last week.

Among those in New Hampshire who named immigration as their top priority,
about three-quarters support Trump. New Hampshire’s primary voters agreed
with Trump on the need to limit immigration and build a wall on the U.S.- Mexico border.

About half of those who said the economy was the top issue backed Trump.
