However, most polls indicate that Haley remains double digits behind Trump with hours to go
until the polls open in New Hampshire.

Trump, who is running a third straight time for the White House, stands at 57% support in a
Suffolk University, the Boston Globe and NBC10 in Boston daily tracking poll released on
Monday morning, with Haley at 38%. Both candidates received two-point bumps with the
departure of DeSantis, who was a distant third in New Hampshire in the single digits.

Trump was also up by double-digits in a University of New Hampshire/CNN poll that was in the

PRESIDENTIAL RACE

The former president predicted another major win on Tuesday, telling supporters at a rally in
Rochester, New Hampshire, on Sunday night that "I think we're going to have the same kind of
result here as we did last week in Iowa."

However, New Hampshire — where independent voters who make up roughly 40% of the
electorate can vote in either major party's contest and have long played an inSuential role in the
state's storied presidential primary — may be fertile ground for Haley.

The latest surveys indicate Trump dominating among registered Republicans, with Haley
grabbing majority support among independents. However, there are likely more Republicans
than independents who will vote in Tuesday's GOP primary.

Veteran New Hampshire-based Republican consultant Jim Merrill told Fox News that DeSantis'
departure from the race "narrows Haley's margin for error here. Many, if not most, of DeSantis Shop now

voters are going to migrate over to Trump. And so it’s critical for her to do well in New AdChoices Sponsored
Hampshire to give her some momentum heading into South Carolina."

Mike Dennehy, another longtime New Hampshire-based GOP strategist, was more blunt.

"I think it puts a nail in her coln," he said of Haley. "I don’t think she’ll be able to keep under 50%.
And I think there’s a very good chance that Trump hits 60% on Tuesday, which will signal the end
of the Haley campaign and virtually seal the deal for the Trump nomination."

Haley obviously does not see it that way.

In a one-on-one interview with Fox News Digital on Sunday night, Haley said her message to
voters who were supporting DeSantis is, "it’s time for a new generation. It’s time to stop the
chaos. It’s time to stop the noise and get America back on track."

Additionally, she pledged that she would "absolutely" be moving on to South Carolina's primary
on Feb. 24 regardless of her Onish in New Hampshire.

In her rally Sunday night, Haley once again touted polls that indicate her defeating President
Biden by larger margins than Trump would in hypothetical general election matchups.

A poll released Friday by Marist College indicates Haley performing better against Biden than
Trump or DeSantis in hypothetical general election matchups in November in New Hampshire,
which is a key battleground state.

The survey indicated Haley edging Biden by three points, while the president tops Trump by
seven points.

However, a Real Clear Politics average of all the most recent national polls in a potential Biden-
Haley showdown indicates Haley edging the president by 1.1 points.

The same average in a Biden-Trump rematch suggests the former president with a 2-point edge
over the incumbent.
