DES MOINES, Iowa — Most likely Republican Iowa caucusgoers say they’ll vote for former President Donald Trump in the general election if he’s the GOP nominee, regardless of the candidate they’re supporting on caucus night.
That is, except supporters of former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, with nearly half of them — 43% — saying they’d vote for Democratic President Joe Biden over Trump.
These new findings from the latest NBC News/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll of Iowa further illustrate the degree to which Haley is bringing in support from independents, Democrats and Republicans who have been uneasy with Trump’s takeover of the GOP.
The poll also shows three-quarters of caucusgoers believing Trump can defeat Biden despite the former president’s legal challenges. But again, a majority of Haley’s supporters think it will be nearly impossible for Trump to win.
Pollster J. Ann Selzer, who has been conducting this Iowa survey over the last three decades, said, “Haley is consolidating the anti-Trump vote. She does well with the people who define themselves as anti-Trump.”
Overall, the Iowa poll finds 71% of likely GOP caucusgoers saying they’ll vote for Trump in the 2024 general election if he’s the Republican presidential nominee, versus 11% who will vote for Biden, 6% who will vote for independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and 8% for another third-party candidate. The remainder say they’re not sure or wouldn’t vote.
But among the Iowa caucusgoers who are supporting Haley as their first-choice candidate, just 23% say they’ll vote for Trump, versus 43% who say they’ll vote for Biden.

That tells you everything you need to know about Nikki.
Which proves everyone’s point. Haley voters are Democrats..just like with Christie supporters, they are pro war, pro giving BILLIONS of our money to Ukraine, and pro open borders..so of course they would vote for Biden
Voters with no values.
The GOP Iowa caucus is going to be a joke if the Traitorcrats are allowed to participate. And if they cannot, they will riot and attempt to stop Republicans from voting. That’s what traitors do.
Nikki’s just another Romney, McCain, or even Bob Dole. Losers. She’d be badly beaten by Biden. Please NO.
"That tells you everything you need to know about Nikki."
Lie down with dogs and wake up with fleas.
Romney, McCain and other RINOs always said to “reach across the aisle” even if the people across the aisle smell like they slept in a homeless tent.
There are some who think Christie ran just to suck away never Trumpers from Haley. That makes a bit of sense given his whole campaign was just bad mouthing Trump.
I have a feeling DeSantis voters will not be 100% crossover. We lose so many elections to those who stay at home and have a political tantrum.
Yeah, I heard that.
That stats speaks volumes.
Sounds like she has nailed down Xiden’s far-left voter base who just can’t bring themselves to vote for President Demento a second time. I don’t believe this kind of crap because liberals are such liars. They all like to claim that they are moderate Republicans when speaking to the far-left toads in the “media”.
NPC News/Comcrap. I have zero confidence in anything they say.
There are FReepers who support her?!?
What!!!
Voters who apparently enjoy seeing their country flushed down the toilet with a Biden vote. Go figure!
So that’s four out of the eight?
And this is the “Republican” the Uniparty’s trying to shove down our throats? No sale. Ever. On any planet or in any universe.
Closet dhimmicraps? Who would have guessed it...
NBC News....Meh...
Yes. They are probably trying to stir up trouble within the republican ranks. We must keep reminding ourselves that the old media are not reliable sources of information. They are adjuncts of the democrat party.
