New Hampshire win masks weakness for Trump with moderates, independents

Donald Trump's victory in the New Hampshire Republican primary on Tuesday masks weakness with independents and moderate voters that could be a warning sign for his likely general election matchup against Democrat Joe Biden, exit poll data and analysts suggest. The former president's status as the runaway frontrunner to clinch his party's presidential nomination got a boost from his win against his only remaining rival, his former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. And some important slices of the electorate seemed cool to Trump – whose supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 – and favored Haley, according to early New Hampshire exit polls from Edison Research.
