5 takeaways from New Hampshire exit polls

“But they’re also hungry, they’re hungry for solutions”, she said after congratulating Sanders on his win.

Not many New Hampshire voters are identifying as Independent.

Overall, Republican voters were very negative about how things are going in Washington these days, according to early results from an exit poll conducted by Edison Research for the Associated Press and the television networks.

During a Monday night rally, Trump repeated an audience member who said Cruz was a “p–” because he opposed legalizing waterboarding. Sanders, who says he is a democratic socialist, underscores the public’s anger with the current political and economic system. Preliminary results include interviews with 2,215 Democratic primary voters and 2,012 Republican primary voters and have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. He already has staff on the ground in Nevada, South Carolina, Super Tuesday states like Vermont and a few others that fall later in the calendar.

Trump did very well among Republican New Hampshire primary voters who want to see illegal immigrants deported: 46 percent voted for him. However, Trump’s support appeared more sustained, with his supporters saying they made up their minds some time ago.

More than 8 in 10 Republicans and Democrats casting ballots on Tuesday say they’ve voted in previous primaries.

Both of those issues favored Trump.

Voters under 45 broke decidedly in Sanders’ favor, and he won more than half of those ages 45 to 64 as well.

Although the vast majority of Democrats – 7 in 10 – said they preferred a candidate with political experience, those who did not broke decidedly in favor of Sanders.

In a sign of Trump’s impact on the race, two-thirds of GOP voters said they supported a temporary ban on non-citizen Muslims entering the USA, a position the billionaire outlined previous year amid rising fears of terrorism emanating from the Middle East.

With fluctuating polling numbers even in the hours leading up to Tuesday’s primary between Clinton and Sanders – some were calling it for Clinton while others were equally ready to call it for Sanders – Clinton’s loss isn’t particularly surprising to her campaign. GOP voters are far more interested in having a nominee who shares their values (35 percent), is capable of bringing about change (29 percent) or one who tells it like it is (22 percent).

“Wow, wow, wow, wow”, Trump declared, savoring his victory at a campaign rally before promising swift action as president on the economy, trade, health care and more. White evangelicals made up about 23 percent of New Hampshire voters today (compared to 62 percent in Iowa). Only three-quaters Republican primary voters say they’re conservative.

Similarly, 56 percent of voters in the 2008 Democratic primary said their political ideology was liberal; on Tuesday two-thirds of Democratic voters consider themselves liberal.
