Day After Nevada Embarrassment, Nikki Haley Gets Even Worse News from Her Home State of South Carolina in New Poll

It looks like GOP presidential hopeful Nikki Haley has a Rocky complex.

The iconic fictional boxer had a knack for taking a brutal beating before bouncing back late in the fight to win the match.

But the race for the Republican presidential nomination isn’t a movie. It’s real. It may be time for Haley to acknowledge reality and throw in the towel.

For starters, Haley was just embarrassed in Nevada’s GOP presidential primary. Voters resoundingly picked the “none of these candidates” option on the ballot over Haley.

Donald Trump wasn’t on the ballot in the Tuesday primary, which won’t award any delegates to the Republican convention. He will instead be participating in Nevada’s caucuses on Thursday, which will award delegates.

Haley, however, was on the ballot — and “none of these candidates” got double the amount of votes.

If that’s not bad enough, a Morning Consult poll released Wednesday showed Trump with a 37-point lead over Haley in her home state of South Carolina. That hurts.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg that is almost sure to sink Haley’s ship.

The poll strongly suggests things will only get worse for her should she continue to Super Tuesday on March 5. Trump’s lead in all eight Super Tuesday states is astounding.

On one end of the spectrum, Trump holds leads of 41 points and 54 points in Massachusetts and North Carolina, respectively. On the other end, there’s Alabama, where Trump has a 75-point lead.

In later primaries in states such as Arizona, Wisconsin, Florida, Georgia and Ohio, at least three-quarters of potential Republican voters are planning to vote for Trump.

Polls may be just a snapshot in time, but the writing is on the wall and Haley would do herself good to read it.

It is highly unlikely that even Rocky could stage a comeback with numbers like this. Haley should drop out of the fight now to save face — before there’s nothing left to save.

The South Carolina poll was conducted from Jan. 23 to Feb. 4 among 414 registered voters who said they planned to vote in South Carolina’s GOP primary. The margin of error was +/- 5 percentage points.

The other polls were conducted from Jan. 23 to Feb. 4 among at least 208 registered voters who said they planned to vote in their state’s Republican primary. The margin of error was +/- 3 to 7 percentage points.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them. 

 

Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal. 

 

And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people. 

 

The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.

 

We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.

 

But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight. 

 

The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help? 

 

With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans. 

 

We can do this only with your help. Please don’t wait one minute. Donate right now.

 

Thank you for reading,

Josh Manning
