Haley leads Biden 1:1 in Quinnipiac poll
Written by a human
In the Quinnipiac University national poll released Wednesday, GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley trails former President Donald Trump among Republican and Republican leaning voters by 56 percent, but leads President Joe Biden one-on-one by 5 percent in a hypothetical 2024 general election matchup.
While the former South Carolina governor and UN ambassador leads President Biden in the poll of registered voters (47 – 42 percent) if they face each other in the 2024 presidential election, the president widens lead over Trump by 6 percent, or 50 – 44 percent, for the same race. In the December 20, 2023 poll by Quinnipiac, Biden had 1 percent lead over the former president.
According to Wednesday’s poll, 96 percent of registered Democrat voters support Biden, while 91 percent of registered Republicans support Trump. There are 2 percent of Democrats who don’t support Biden, while 7 percent of Republicans don’t support Trump.
In the Biden vs Haley race for the Oval Office, 87 percent Democrats say in 2024’s first Quinnipiac poll that they will support Biden, while 79 percent and 53 percent of Republicans and indpendents, respectively, say they will support Haley.
In her X (formerly Twitter) post sharing the results of the poll, Haley wrote, “Donald Trump loses big and we end up with President Kamala Harris.”
A day earlier, Haley had mentioned why, in her opinion, Vice President Harris would be the president, writing, also on X, “Here’s the truth: we’re going to have a woman president. It will either be me, or it will be Kamala Harris. Because Donald Trump can’t beat Joe Biden, and Joe Biden won’t finish his term.”
