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.

If you don’t know whether to vote for Trump over Biden if can’t vote for Haley, then you...need your headspace and timing adjusted.

There are FReepers who support her?!?

What!!!

I was shocked at that as well. I haven’t seen any, but if they exist they should have their FR membership cards revoked. There is no principled argument for supporting her…none.

That says a lot more about Nimarata and her leftist, globalist warmongering supporters than it does about Trump.

Oh, there have been a couple that walk up to the edge without being too obvious. Its less about Haley and more about supporting the neocon agenda.

They should let their freak flag fly.
