Yikes: Steve Kornacki Explains Just How Many 'Republicans' Voted in NH Republican Primary
By Nick Arama | 11:15 PM on January 23, 2024
As we reported earlier, CNN was indicating that 70 percent of Nikki Haley's votes were from undeclared voters in the "GOP" primary.
How many undeclared voters were there?
I mentioned one count, which seemed like a pretty high number in my last post — almost half the voters.
Now MSNBC's Steve Kornacki, who generally seems to be straight about his stats, had some more surprising numbers about how many Republicans voted in the Republican primary, how many were undeclared, and how many were something else. Shockingly, the majority were NOT Republican. The majority — 53 percent — were "independent" (45 percent) or Democrat (8 percent). Only 47 percent were Republicans. This is incredible, and that's up notably from 2016, when it was 55 percent Republican, 42 percent independent, and 3 percent Democrat.
