Even Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, a rising star in the Republican Party, has struggled to gain significant traction in the state, garnering only 6% support. His lackluster performance falls short of the 10% threshold required to secure delegates in New Hampshire, highlighting the challenges he faces in competing with the heavyweight contenders.
With one in five Republican primary voters still undecided, momentum appears to be favoring Haley. However, the outcome remains uncertain, as it is yet to be seen whether these undecided voters will be sufficient to propel Haley to victory in the upcoming primary. As the stakes rise, the clash between Trump and Haley in New Hampshire promises to be a heated and closely-watched showdown.
Conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, the CNN poll surveyed 1,210 likely Republican primary voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points. The results underscore the resolute support for Trump in New Hampshire, setting the stage for an exciting and closely-monitored primary race.
