As the U.S. Republican Party enters the presidential primary starting with Iowa in January next year, a survey showed that former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley’s approval rating in New Hampshire, an early primary state, is as high as 30%. New Hampshire is the first of the 50 states in the U.S. to hold a presidential primary, so it is called a ‘weathervane of public sentiment.’ Although former President Donald Trump is overwhelmingly leading the Republican Party, there are also observations that if former Ambassador Haley’s upward trend continues, there may be a change in the monopolistic system.
Last February, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley (51) declared her candidacy for president at a presidential launch ceremony held in Charleston, South Carolina. At the time, Haley directly targeted elderly President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, even mentioning the mental health of elderly politicians. /Archyde.com Yonhap News
According to a poll conducted by the St. Anselem College Survey Center on the 18th and 19th among 1,711 New Hampshire voters and released on the 21st (local time), Trump received 44% of support from Republican supporters. Haley narrowed the approval rating gap with Trump to 30%, down to 14% points. In a survey last September, the gap between Trump (45%) and Haley (15%) was 30 percentage points. Previously, in a CBS survey conducted on the 8th to 15th, the gap between the approval ratings of former President Trump (44%) and former Ambassador Haley (29%) was 15 percentage points.
However, in most states, former President Trump has an overwhelming lead. The Haley camp’s strategy is to create a sensation in the early states so that it can have as much influence as possible in other primaries.
The New Hampshire primary will be held on the 23rd of next month. Governor DeSantis’ approval rating, who was competing with former Ambassador Haley for second place, fell to 6% in this survey. He was once considered a strong candidate to compete against Trump, but his approval rating continues to fall, including losing to former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (12%), an anti-Trump figure.
Trump’s team is focusing its efforts on New Hampshire, where former Ambassador Haley’s rise was notable. Trump’s super PAC (special political action committee) ‘Make America Great Again’ began a large-scale election campaign in New Hampshire starting on the 19th.
Additionally, Trump hired 1,800 campaign workers to win Iowa, the first primary district, by a clear margin. The US media reported that their mission was to discover 10 new Republican caucus participants per person.
