I prefer Haley over any other candidate on either side. Upside far outweighs downside. And I adopt LDB's closing line on all of his posts.

Haley Gaining Momentum

The 538 website provides a nice, consolidated, ongoing summary of the polls. It shows Haley is gaining momentum.

Nationally, she is about to bump DeSantis out of second place. She is closing the gap in Iowa also. Having been 24 points behind DeSantis in June, she has closed the gap to just 2.7 points. (Or you could say DeSantis has closed the gap with his many shortcomings. The more he campaigns, the less people like him.

In New Hampshire, DeSantis has fallen to a distant, single-digit, fourth place. Now in second place, Haley has narrowed the gap between her and Trump by more than 20 points. Currently, the NH, poll average shows Trump 44.1, Haley 25.7. If you review the NH poll history, you will see Trump's support there recently fell and Haley's support has steadily grown; to the point where she is now just 4 points behind Trump in the most-recent poll conducted.

In South Carolina, Haley's home state, she has decisively bumped DeSantis out of second place, but still lags Trump.

In all Republican primary polls, Trump still holds a commanding lead over Haley and all others. If the polls are accurate and if the primary elections were held today, Trump would win.

Nevertheless, it is interesting to see Haley gaining as she is. If Haley somehow managed to beat Trump in New Hampshire, that would be big news that would prompt a lot of Republican primary voters in other states to give her a deeper look.

Haley's endorsement of the woke idea of allowing 12-yr olds to receive gender affirming "care" has killed her chances with conservative parents and grandparents. She also didn't win any potential fans from the middle of the political spectrum with her clumsy answer to a NH voter's question about slavery and the Civil War. Apparently she forgot she was north of the Mason-Dixon line.

Trump won over Haley in the NH primary by 54.5% to 43.3%. The remarkable statistic about Haley's showing is that only 27% of her voters were registered Republicans; 70% were "undeclared", meaning she has no support among the Republican base. Right now she's losing to Trump in her home state of SC polls by an average of 30%. Chris Christie was right - she's getting "smoked". She should drop out now rather than be embarrassed in SC.

I see the Left was copying Rush Limbaugh’s “Operation Chaos” and voting for Haley.

She said the retirement age should be set to 70....THAT sealed her fate IMO.
