New Republican media narrative …..
Ron DeSantis dropping….
Nikki Haley climbing….
Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley appears to be a rising threat to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as the two fight to be the top alternative to former President Trump in the 2024 GOP primary, according to a new survey.
The USA Today/Suffolk poll taken last week has Haley garnering 11 percent support among likely Republican voters, about 1 percentage point below DeSantis’s 12.3 percent support.
Trump maintains a commanding lead at just less than 58 percent.
The numbers spell bad news for DeSantis, who has mostly maintained his second-place spot in GOP primary polling.
Haley’s support is up from her 4.49 percent standing when USA Today/Suffolk conducted the same poll in June. The Florida governor, however, has taken a steep dip after garnering 22.86 percent support in June…..
