Primary Exit Polls Show Terror Fears Aided Trump and Young Voters Helped Sanders
- 8 years ago
Two-thirds of New Hampshire Republican primary voters agree with Donald J. Trump’s proposal to temporarily bar Muslims from entering the United States.
And they overwhelmingly express fear of another terrorist attack.
On the Democratic side, young voters and those most concerned about inequality and political integrity gave Bernie Sanders a convincing victory.
Those concerns helped drive Mr. Trump and Mr. Sanders to victory in New Hampshire on Tuesday night.
Exit polls offered a portrait of the first wave of American voters to cast ballots in a 2016 election that has already defied expectations and posed a sharp challenge to leading political dynasties.
Democratic voters valuing honesty or empathy over experience or electability propelled Mr. Sanders to a solid victory.
