ROCHESTER, N.H.—This state’s independent voters tired of extreme partisanship look like Nikki Haley’s last hope for breaking Donald Trump’s iron grip on the Republican presidential nomination. Four in 10 New Hampshire voters are independents, part of a growing share of Americans who don’t belong to either political party. New Hampshire is among the states that allow independent voters to cast ballots in either party’s primary. Some 31% of New Hampshire voters are Republicans, state figures show. Independent voters are particularly concerned about the 91 criminal charges Trump faces for matters including his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
