Trump Gets New Hampshire Boost as Poll Spells Bad News for Nikki Haley


Donald Trump has received a boost in New Hampshire after a new poll showed the former president 11 points ahead of his GOP rival Nikki Haley just days before the state’s primary.

Trump has been the frontrunner in the 2024 GOP presidential primary throughout the 2024 election cycle. The former president won the Iowa Republican Caucus on Monday, with 51 percent of voter support and he intends to win over New Hampshire during its primary on Tuesday. However, Haley may stand in the way.

Haley, a former South Carolina governor and former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, has been gaining traction in the Granite State for a few months now. In early January, a CNN/University of New Hampshire (UNH) poll showed her trailing Trump by just 7 points.

But now, the gap between Trump and Haley has grown into the double digits.

A new CNN/UNH poll conducted between January 16 and 19 showed that 50 percent of likely GOP primary voters chose Trump for the Republican nomination, while only 39 percent picked Haley. The poll surveyed 1,242 likely GOP primary voters and the margin of error for this sample size was plus or minus 2.8 percent.

This is a developing story and will be updated when more information becomes available.
