A CBS News exit poll revealed that 50% of New Hampshire Republican primary voters believe former President Donald Trump would still be fit to serve as president even if he is convicted of a crime, while 47% hold the opposite opinion.
The poll also showed that over half of Republican voters in Iowa maintained that a guilty verdict against Trump would not impair him from performing presidential duties.
The survey indicated that the New Hampshire Republican primary is mainly a face-off between Trump and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, with other GOP candidates dropping out of the race.

Despite tensions, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis endorsed Trump after dropping out of the primary race, criticizing Haley and expressing his support for Trump as the Republican nominee.
“While I’ve had disagreements with Donald Trump, such as on the coronavirus pandemic and his elevation of Anthony Fauci, Trump is superior to the current incumbent, Joe Biden. That is clear,” DeSantis said.
“I signed a pledge to support the Republican nominee, and I will honor that pledge,” he said.
