Former President Donald Trump extends his lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in New Hampshire, and newcomers to the 2024 Republican presidential primary are also gaining support from the state’s voters, a new poll shows .
The Saint Anselm College Survey Center poll, released Tuesday, gathered responses from 1,065 registered Granite State voters from June 21-23 and found that Trump has 47 percent support from voters in the state.

But Granite State voters said they believe a Biden-Trump matchup in 2024 signals the system is broken. Fourteen percent of Republicans polled said they are slightly more inclined than Democrats (6%) to believe this party represents the best each political party has to offer, but 83% disagree overall.
Regarding age, 70% of poll respondents, including 50% of Democrats, expressed concern about the 80-year-old former president, while only 34% said they were concerned about his age of the 77-year-old former president.
