A new poll confirms the broader electorate's dissatisfaction with the direction of the country, particularly our economic malaise, and perceived lack of leadership from President Biden.
While most Republican presidential candidates find themselves neck-and-neck with Biden, one leads him by six points: Former South Carolina governor and the Trump administration's U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley.
Mediaite has more on the startling CNN poll:
Biden was led by former President Donald Trump by just one point, 46 to 47 percent. Biden and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) tied with 47 percent each.
The same poll showed Trump leading the GOP field with 52% of the vote, DeSantis was in second place with 18 percent.
Nikki Haley who polled in third place with 7 percent of the vote, tied with Mike Pence, registered by far the strongest lead over Biden in a potential match-up. The former South Carolina governor and UN ambassador, Haley led Biden 49 percent to 43 percent. Haley also had the strongest support of anyone polled at 49 percent, with DeSantis's 47 percent total coming in second.
“That difference is driven at least in part by broader support for Haley than for other Republicans among White voters with college degrees (she holds 51% of that group, compared with 48% or less for other Republicans tested in the poll),” noted CNN's summary of the poll.
Former Vice President Mike Pence and Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) also lead Biden in a hypothetical matchup, 46 to 44%.

The amazing and very discouraging thing about these polls is the fact that at least 35% of the voting public supports Biden and his Socialist Left Administration and agenda. How in the world can anyone with a little bit of common sense ‘not know or see’ Biden and the Democrat leaders are leading and throwing all Americans under the bus for the sake of a dictatorship and Constitutional ruin?
I know how you feel. It’s like we’re driving 90 miles per hour right into an oncoming train. Logic has been completely erased. They think touching their hand to some sensor is a really cool thing — not knowing the Think Tank behind it knows absolutely everything about you…including exactly where you are, in case, they want to send a drone your way. I’m not paranoid. You have no privacy — not even in the toilet. Why do people thing this “convenience” is cool?
Because we have more stupid people than we can fathom. They’re brain- washed and misinformed by the MSM and our schools.
Richard, you’re 100% right! How could anyone with even half a brain vote for a corrupt lying idiot like Biden? Do we really have that many stupid people in America?!?!?!
Haley will never have my vote! Neocon, war monger! Trump 2024 MAGA
Your right the GOP RINO poll has Nikki Haley leading
Polls will say whatever the purchasing entity wants them to say. CNN has a vested interest in promoting polls that do NOT show President Trump leading by a wide margin, outside the margin of error. Unfortunately for CNN, most other polls do exactly that. Nate Silver’s 538 Project’s latest poll (Sept. 6) shows Trump beating Biden 42% -37%, but Biden beating DeSantis 35% – 33%. Haley gets 5% (vs. Trump @ 62%) of all GOP contenders at present. Data here: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/20230906_US_Premise2.pdf
I have problems with Nikki Haley seeing that she was one of Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum “disciples.” That leads me to question exactly what her worldview really is.
I don’t trust Nikki Haley as far as I can throw her.
I still like Ramaswamy or Elder better.
Haley can give it up since she’s also labeled traitor.
If we exclude Trump from the polling, then a fence post is still ahead of the rest of the GOP candidate pack except for maybe Nikki Haley, when it comes to beating out-to-lunch bucket Joe Biden.
These polls and their subsequent reporting of thus are nothing more than a bunch of wishful fantasizing by a handful of Never-Trumpers and the lame-stream, fake & day-dreaming media news press.
