New Hampshire Polls Paint Trump as Leader, Haley in Second

Summary from the AllSides News Team

New polls out of New Hampshire paint former President Donald Trump as the leader, with former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley in second place.

Key Details: A Saint Anselm College poll shows that support for Nikki Haley has increased by 7% since the Iowa caucuses, and is now at 38%. Donald Trump is now at 52%, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis at 6%. A Suffolk University/NBC10 Boston/Boston Globe poll has Trump at 50%, Haley at 34%, and DeSantis at 5%. However, a survey from American Research Group Inc. has Trump and Haley tied at 40% among likely Republican primary voters in New Hampshire.

Key Quote: “Haley still trails by a significant margin as she faces questions about her decision to skip the New Hampshire debate, which may deny her the best remaining chance to close the deal with the voters she needs to make up ground on the front-runner,” said New Hampshire Institute of Politics executive director Neil Levesque. 

For Context: Undeclared voters can take part in the New Hampshire presidential primary, and many observers think these voters will have a big effect on the Republican primary results, since President Joe Biden has no real Democratic contest.

How the Media Covered it: Sources on the right and left noted Trump's strong lead in some polls, while The Hill (Center Bias) showed a tied race between Trump and Haley.
