Voters cast their ballots at a polling place in Manchester, N.H.
(CNN) - Sen. John McCain bested Mike Huckabee among New Hampshire voters who said a candidate's religious beliefs matter a great deal, according to CNN exit polls. Those voters made up 14 percent of all Republican primary voters - much less than in Iowa. While Huckabee won overwhelmingly among religious voters in Iowa, McCain actually edged out the former Arkansas governor and onetime Baptist minister in New Hampshire: 35 percent went to McCain while 31 percent went to Huckabee. Huckabee considerably played down his religious beliefs and background in New Hampshire, placing more emphasis on other issues like taxes and immigration. Expect Huckabee to go back to heavily stressing his religious ties when he heads to South Carolina, where social conservatives play a much stronger role than in New Hampshire. – CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider Filed under: John McCain Mike Huckabee |
