2024 ELECTION/GOP/NIKKI HAYLEY/POLLS: “Donald Trump holds a 30 percentage-point lead over the pool of Republican rivals churning below him in New Hampshire, where the vast majority of his supporters say little, if anything, can shift their vote from the former president [in the 2024 election], according to a new Suffolk University/Boston Globe/USA TODAY poll.

Trump’s yawning advantage in the state’s GOP primary is braced by another factor: Any gains by, say, Nikki Haley — who at 19 percent is polling closest to Trump’s 49 percent of support — are coming at the expense of other Republicans, not Trump, even as just under half of the those surveyed believe he is the party’s inevitable nominee, the poll found.”
