While polls suggest former President Donald Trump will likely win the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday, that doesn't mean that Republican voters in the state are all lined up behind him.
NBC News reporter Garrett Haake, who is covering the primary, said that his conversations with voters in the state make him think Trump might have a real problem on his hands in a general election this year.
"I don’t know how or when, or if, the Trump campaign starts to grapple with it, but I keep meeting longtime NH GOP voters who backed him in 16 and 20 who say they cannot vote for him again based on post-election behavior in 20," wrote Haake on Twitter. "He’s surely going to need those folks if he’s nominee?"

While Haake's report is merely anecdotal, voting from the 2022 midterm elections suggests that election denying has been a liability for Republican candidates.
In what was supposed to have been a "red wave" year, Republicans lost key races in Arizona and Georgia where they had nominated candidates who denied President Joe Biden won in 2020, and efforts to get election-denying secretaries of state elected in anticipation of blocking the certification of the 2024 vote were similarly defeated.
Despite this, Trump has continued to push false claims about the 2020 election being "stolen" from him.
