Exit polling has revealed that Nikki Haley’s loss to 45th President Trump in the New Hampshire GOP Primary came despite her campaign having mobilized Democrats and left-leaning independents to interfere in the Republican Party’s nominating process, by joining forces with Haley to cast votes against Trump.
While 70% of President Trump’s supporters in the New Hampshire GOP Presidential Primary were registered Republicans and 27% of them were undeclared, Nikki Haley’s campaign was in “an alternate universe,” CNN reported. Her numbers inverted when compared to Trump’s and Team Haley got the vast majority of its support from non-Republican voters, thanks to New Hampshire’s semi-open primary system.

Additional exit polls from NBC News showed that a whopping 85% of New Hampshire GOP Primary voters who called themselves “liberal” voted for Nikki Haley, while another 73% of self-proclaimed “moderates” did the same.
