Super Tuesday takeaways: Republicans are not worried about Trump's criminal cases and immigration is still the top issues

Donald Trump was robbed of a clean sweep of the states on Super Tuesday with Nikki Haley's win in Vermont.

But it was still a dominant performance for the Republican frontrunner who is now focused on his rematch with Joe Biden in November.

While the results of the night weren't surprising, the exit polls gave an insight into what GOP voters are thinking ahead of the general election. 

As Republican voters left polling stations across the U.S. on Tuesday, they were unconcerned with Trump's many legal battles and more preoccupied with the current state of immigration.

One of the most pronounced findings from Super Tuesday exit polling revealed how Trump's 'MAGA' platform and bulldog approach to his many legal cases have enraptured the GOP.

Many Republican supporters still fervently back Trump and are not deterred by his many legal battles - even if he's convicted of a crime. 

But Nikki Haley supporters are not eager to back Trump should she drop, posing a challenge to his prospects for victory in November.

It also showed that immigration is still the number one top issue of concern among voters.  

DailyMail.com breaks down the most important takeaways from Super Tuesday. 

Voters in 16 states and American Samoa took to the polls on Super Tuesday

A majority of GOP voters told pollsters Donald Trump would be fit for office even if he is convicted of a crime  

Trump has unwavering support despite legal issues 

Exit polling by Edison Research conducted in a number of Super Tuesday states found that GOP voters are particularly steadfast supporters of former President Donald Trump.

The majority of Republican voters in North Carolina, Virginia and California said that he would still be fit for office even if he was convicted of a crime. 

Specifically, less than 23% of Republicans who voted for him in California think that he's 'unfit' to serve as president - even if he ends up being convicted of a crime. 

However, a minority of Republican voters in two of the states voting on Super Tuesday consider themselves members of the MAGA movement, CNN exit polls have revealed.

In Virginia, 31 percent of voters said they were MAGA compared to 59 percent who said no, while 39 percent of those in North Carolina said 'yes' while 54 percent said 'no'.

When asked if Trump would still be fit for the presidency if convicted of a crime, 53 percent in Virginia said he would while 40 percent said no.

In North Carolina, 64 percent of primary voters said the former president would still be fit to serve if found guilty of a crime while 32 percent said no.

Further, 60 percent of North Carolina voters, 46 percent of Virginia voters and 57 percent of California GOP voters said that Biden was not legitimately elected - a false claim Trump has repeated since the 2020 election. 

Nikki Haley supporters undecided on Trump

Haley supporters, meanwhile, are not fans of the former president, or his rhetoric surrounding the 2020 election.

An ABC exit poll found Tuesday that a majority of Haley voters in North Carolina (78%), Virginia (68%) and California (69%) would not commit to backing whoever the GOP nominee is.

Haley draws many Independent and more moderate voters, a crucial crowd Trump will have to convince to vote for him in November should he become the party's nominee. 

Many of those voters, however, would not support the former president if he gets convicted of a crime, unlike his stronger GOP base.

They also disagree with Trump's claim that Biden's election was illegitimate. 

A CBS exit poll in Virginia found that 68 percent of moderates voting in the  Republican primary broke for Haley.

A majority of her supporters said their vote was primarily against Trump, though, rather than being for Haley. 

She also won a majority of moderate voters in North Carolina, according to Edison Research. 

Donald Trump crushed Nikki Haley among nonwhite voters in warning sign to Biden

According to data from Super Tuesday collected by Edison, Trump beat Haley with nonwhite voters 72 percent to 23 percent.

That's the same group of voters who are critical to Democrats.

In the 2020 election Biden beat Trump among Hispanics by nearly 20 points. 

However one recent New York Times/Siena College poll also found that Trump is outperforming Biden with Hispanic voters. 

The survey showed former president Trump leading Biden by six points among the demographic. 

If Trump continues to garner support from Hispanics and other nonwhite voters, it could signal trouble for Biden. 

Nikki Haley has not made plans to make any Super Tuesday announcements

Haley has previously said she would reassess her campaign after Super Tuesday

Immigration ranks as top issue among voters 

Exit polls in Virginia and North Carolina, conducted by CBS News, reveal the migrant crisis is the top issue heading into the 2024 election.

Forty-three percent in Virginia and 37% in North Carolina picked immigration over the economy, abortion and foreign policy when asked about their concerns at polling places.

California GOP voters said the economy was their top issue, with immigration mentioned nearly as much.

A majority of Republican voters in those states also believed immigrants without legal status should be deported. 

In North Carolina 62 percent of voters said immigrants without legal status should be deported. In Virginia that number was 59 percent, while in California it was 69 percent.

Border security and immigration are among the top issues for voters in the 2024 elections

Border security had recently polled as the number one issues among voters in this year's elections, and it's the main topic Trump ran his 2016 presidential bid on. 

'Build that wall!' voters chanted back then.

And voters are wanting to build that wall again today. 

A February Monmouth poll found that for the first time in history a majority of Americans - 53 percent - want a border wall with Mexico. 

Four years ago, in a 2019 poll, only 42 percent of Americans supported the idea.

The poll also shows that 84 percent of voters see illegal immigration as a very serious or somewhat serious issue, a number that has grown significantly since 2019.
