Donald Trump Is Not as Popular as Everyone Thinks

Despite resounding victories on Super Tuesday, there are indications that Donald Trump is still struggling to get strong, united Republican support, which he may need in the presidential election.

Trump is all but certain to clinch the GOP's 2024 presidential nomination, setting up a rematch with President Joe Biden in November, after dominating the busiest day of the primary calendar with easy victories in more than a dozen states on March 5.

However, Nikki Haley, Trump's main remaining rival in the Republican primary, received more than 2 million votes across the country Tuesday and pulled off a surprise victory in Vermont, the solidly blue state where Biden beat Trump by 35 points in 2020.

Haley was also able to achieve between 20 and 40 percent of the votes in several states—including Massachusetts (37 percent), Colorado (34 percent), Minnesota (29 percent) and North Carolina (23 percent).
