Nikki Haley has overtaken Ron DeSantis in Iowa just days before a high-stakes Republican caucus that could help determine whether either candidate has a viable shot at upending Donald Trump, the race’s far-and-away front-runner.
But even as Haley has moved into second place, a new Des Moines Register/NBC News/Mediacom Iowa Poll indicates her support may be based on “shaky ground,” said pollster J. Ann Selzer, who conducted the poll.
The Iowa Poll shows 48% of likely Republican caucusgoers pick Trump as their first choice for president — a slight dip from the 51% who said the same in December.
Haley, who has shown more upward momentum since the start of the caucus cycle than any other candidate, now sits in second place at 20%. It is her best showing in the Iowa Poll, and an increase of 4 percentage points since December.
Personally, I never see paywalls. If you don't want to see paywalls either, first you need to use Firefox as a browser (honestly, if you care at all about privacy, you should be doing that anyway). Then you need to get the NoScript extension (get it at
https://noscript.net/). NoScript blocks JavaScript programs from running, and those are what block you from seeing the article.
I've written about this more extensively elsewhere. If anyone seriously wants to set this up, DM me and I'll be happy to help you.
