Nikki Haley Surges in New Hampshire Poll, Trails Trump by Four Points
Summary from the AllSides News Team
A recent poll from the American Research Group Inc. of New Hampshire voters concluded that former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley trails former President Donald Trump by only four points in the state's Republican primary.
Details: Trump and Haley have separated from a crowded pack of Republican primary candidates. Trump is polling at 33%, while Haley is at 29%. Haley has a one-point advantage among voters over the age of 50, while Trump has a 10-point advantage among voters aged 18-49. Haley’s support in the state has doubled since September, in part as a result of Haley receiving the endorsement of New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu. Trump remains the favorite in national polls, with poll aggregate FiveThirtyEight (Center bias) currently listing Trump at 62% and Haley at 10.8%.
Key Quotes: Trump responded to the poll with a post on Truth Social, stating, “FAKE NEW HAMPSHIRE POLL WAS RELEASED ON BIRDBRAIN. JUST ANOTHER SCAM! RATINGS CHALLENGED FOXNEWS WILL PLAY IT TO THE HILT. SUNUNU NOW ONE OF THE LEAST POPULAR GOVERNORS IN U.S.” The New York Post (Lean Right bias) quoted Haley spokeswoman Olivia Perez-Cubas stating, “It’s clear this is a two-person race between Nikki Haley and Donald Trump. We hope to see him on the debate stage in Iowa.”
How the Media Covered It: Outlets across the spectrum reported on the poll as a shift in the primary narrative, challenging the idea that Trump is the runaway nominee with no serious challenger from the Republican Party.
