Re: "Look at the total numbers...remember when New Hampshire was a Republican State? Like Iowa, the Republicans have to wonder about total voters..." This may have a lot to do with it: Bush, and Bush policies, are highly unpopular ALL ACROSS THE BOARD. Unpopular with Dems and Independents (in near equal amounts), and unpopular with registered Republicans, too. On the Republican side, nearly half of primary voters said their biggest concerns were terrorism and the Iraq war. The exit polls showed that nearly half were dissatisfied or angry with President Bush. A third disapproved of the war. Each of those groups of Republicans broke decisively for Senator John McCain, suggesting more viewed him as a critic than as a supporter of the administration. The wide-open contests in both parties drew record crowds, and some polling places were forced to send out for extra ballots. Voters in both parties said that they were worried the economy was going in the wrong direction — including nearly all Democrats and about 8 in 10 Republicans — but the exit polls suggested that a more complicated mix of issues decided the races.
