Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley’s numbers have been improving over the past week as the Iowa primary races draw closer. While Haley has been trailing in the polls up to this point in primary season, her support has surged to the point where she now appears to be posing a threat to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has been in second place since he announced his candidacy.
A recent survey showed Haley closely trailing DeSantis with only days left until the Iowa Caucus.
According to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ polling average, Trump leads the GOP field in Iowa with 51.6 percent support. DeSantis follows at 18 percent support, while Haley closely trails at 17.1 percent.
“It would always be great for someone to outperform expectations in Iowa, and right now Trump’s expectations are a resounding win,” said Matthew Bartlett, a New Hampshire-based Republican strategist.
