Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley jumped to second place behind former President Donald Trump in the first-in-the-nation primary state of New Hampshire, according to a Wednesday poll.
Haley garnered 19% support among likely Republican primary voters in the state, following Trump’s lead at 49%, according to a Suffolk University/Boston Globe/USA TODAY survey. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis came in third with 10% ahead of former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at 6%, and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and conservative businessman Vivek Ramaswamy both garnered 4% support.
Former Vice President Mike Pence and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum received 1% each, and all other 2024 GOP hopefuls garnered less than 1% support, according to the survey.
Haley’s campaign pointed the Daily Caller News Foundation toward another key early state poll released Wednesday upon request for comment. In South Carolina, Haley garnered 16.6% support behind Trump at 50.5%, followed by DeSantis with 12.1% among GOP primary voters, according to a Winthrop University survey.
“South Carolinians know how hard Nikki fought for taxpayers and jobs, and how she took on the establishment and won when she was governor,” Ken Farnaso, spokesperson for Haley, told the DCNF in a statement. “She takes nothing for granted but is confident she’ll do very well in South Carolina.”
The Suffolk University/Boston Globe/USA TODAY survey polled 500 likely GOP primary voters between Sept. 28 and Oct. 2, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4%.
The RealClearPolitics average for a 2024 national Republican primary, based on polls conducted between Sept. 15 and Oct. 3, indicates Trump is leading the field by over 40 points, followed by DeSantis with 14.5%, Haley with 7.4%, Ramaswamy with 5.3% and Pence with 3.8%. All other candidates garnered less than 3% support.
Neither Trump nor DeSantis immediately responded to the DCNF’s requests for comment.
