Exit polls in the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday showed a stark disparity between supporters of former President Trump and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley on how they perceive the 2020 election results.
About 80 percent of Trump voters said they don’t believe President Biden won the 2020 election, according to a CNN exit poll, while 83 percent of Haley voters said he did.
The exit poll exemplifies Trump’s strong pull among the most conservative voters, while Haley has relied on more moderates for her White House bid.
Trump won the New Hampshire primary, according to Decision Desk HQ, taking about 55 percent of votes as of 8 p.m.
The victory deals a major blow to Haley. In polls before Tuesday, Haley trailed Trump by about 11 points, according to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ average.
Haley’s campaign has committed to staying in the race until at least the South Carolina primary, her home state, on Feb. 24.
