According to \u200dABC News, &#8220;undeclared&#8221; voters make up a significant 47% of the turnout, \u2064surpassing\u2064 the previous record \u2064of 45% in\u200c 2012. \u200dThe polls \u2063also reveal \u200dthat\u2062 moderates\u2063 account for 31% of voters, a substantial increase from the 9% seen in the Iowa\u2062 caucuses. In contrast, only 24% of voters in New Hampshire identify as very conservative, compared to 52%\u2063 in Iowa.<\/p>\n<h3>Open \u2062Primary\u2062 Rules in New Hampshire<\/h3>\n<p>In New Hampshire, independent or \u2064unaffiliated voters have the opportunity to participate in the Republican primary. Unlike registered Republicans, they are not restricted from\u200d voting in the Democratic \u2062primary. \u200cThis flexibility allows independents \u2063to make their choice on the day of the primary, without having to commit in advance.<\/p>\n<p>Preliminary exit poll results indicate that nearly half of Republican primary voters personally \u2064align with the party, while over 40% identify as independents and close to 10% identify as Democrats. Among \u2063those who\u200c support Trump, the majority express strong favoritism towards their candidate. Interestingly,\u2063 around 40% of\u2064 Nikki Haley voters in the New Hampshire primary admit that their vote was driven by a dislike for other\u2063 candidates, while a\u2064 quarter have reservations about their chosen candidate.<\/p>\n<p>Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, has been tirelessly campaigning across New Hampshire in the final week leading up to the primary. This crucial \u2063contest offers her the first opportunity to gauge her appeal among\u200b independent and unaffiliated voters, who are seen as a\u200c potential obstacle to Trump&#8217;s momentum in the upcoming primaries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stay updated with the latest coverage on Election 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to read more\u2063 from The Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u200d What factors contribute to Nikki Haley&#8217;s appeal to unaffiliated \u200bvoters and\u2062 moderates?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u200cLls from the recent \u2064New \u200cHampshire primary have \u2064unveiled a\u200d compelling fact &#8211; unaffiliated voters and moderates \u200dare playing a significant role\u2063 in boosting Nikki Haley&#8217;s chances \u2062for victory.
