Former President Donald Trump has left some hard feelings in his wake among New Hampshire’s Republican primary voters, according to data from a post-race poll Tuesday.
A hefty 35% of Republican voters indicated they would be so dissatisfied if Trump won the Republican nomination that they would not vote for the 77-year-old in the November general election, Fox News voter analysis found.
Not surprisingly, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley won 96% of that group, and 1% voted for Trump anyway.
Another 11% of exit poll respondents said they would be “dissatisfied” if Trump won the nomination but would still vote for him in November.
The 45th president won 36% of that group, while Haley won the support of 59% of that group.
Among the 53% who said they were satisfied and would vote for Trump in November if he were the Republican standard-bearer, 94% pulled the lever in favor of the former president.

Only 39% said they would be satisfied with Haley as the Republican candidate, while 26% said they would be dissatisfied but would still vote for her.

Before primary day, the former president lamented New Hampshire’s open system, which allows undeclared voters to help decide the Republican race.
“A huge number of independents left,” Trump lamented Tuesday night. “They only vote because they want to make me look as bad as possible.”

Only 13% of GOP primary voters considered themselves independent voters, and that group split with Haley by 67% to 31%. Another 10% called themselves Democrats or Democratic supporters, and 94% of that group opted for Haley.
The remaining 74% of voters who called themselves Republican or Republican-leaning voted for Trump by a 2-to-1 margin.
Meanwhile, only 13% of New Hampshire Democratic primary participants said they had no plans to vote for Biden in November should he be nominated for a second term.

“Trump’s extremism has left him struggling with some of the diverse voters he needs to win,” Biden-Harris deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks told reporters on Wednesday.
“His agenda is toxic and voters don’t buy what he sells.”
