Yea it’s early….
BUT?
Republican Nikki Haley AHEAD of Ron DeSantes there now in the 2024 Presidential primary sweepstakes contest….
Could she alos be ‘surging ‘ in Iowa also?
REALLY?
How the mighty have fallen?
Haley is now slotted in second, ahead of DeSantis’s 11 percent. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie scored 10 percent, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy got 6 percent.
Seven other GOP White House hopefuls tested got just 3 percent or less, and 6 percent were unsure.
DeSantis has long been Trump’s closest challenger in most polls, but his support has been slipping in recent weeks. The NHIOP poll notes DeSantis’s support has fallen 18 points since March.
Haley, on the other hand, saw a boost after the first GOP debate in Milwaukee last month. Her campaign has touted its momentum after the event, and the super PAC backing her bid has boasted of Haley’s rise as DeSantis declines.
In 2024 general election hypotheticals, likely Republican primary voters in the Granite State said they’d vote 73-13 for DeSantis over President Biden, with 12 percent backing someone else. If the contest was with Haley, Biden gets just 8 percent and Haley gets 74 percent.
The New Hampshire results come after a top pollster warned Haley has “surged” in Iowa, and after a CNN poll found her besting Biden in a 2024 hypothetical head-to-head….
