Daunting poll numbers to test Haley’s staying power in 2024 race

The day after Nikki Haley finished more than 30 points behind “none of these candidates” in Nevada, her presidential campaign touted a “blowout win” in another battleground state. “In Wisconsin, Haley has blowout win; Trump has blowup,” read the subject line of an email from the former United Nations ambassador’s team. The win in question was yet another poll showing Haley outperforming former President Donald Trump against President Joe Biden in a hypothetical general election matchup. “Democrats couldn’t dream up a weaker general election candidate than Donald Trump if they tried. They know the only way their grumpy old man wins is if he’s running against another grumpy old man,” Haley spokeswoman AnnMarie Graham-Barnes said in the statement. “With Nikki Haley on the ballot, Republicans will not only win the White House, they’ll win the Senate, the House, governors’ races, and statehouses across America. If Republicans are tired of losing, Nikki will end the GOP slump.”
