"Nikki Haley Surges Ahead of DeSantis in Key Polls: Is Trump's Grip Slipping?"

Former US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley leads GOP rival Ron DeSantis by 7 points in a poll of likely caucusgoers in Iowa, with 20 percent support compared to DeSantis' 13 percent. Former President Trump maintains a dominant lead with 54 percent. The two candidates have been engaging in heated debates, with DeSantis attacking Haley's campaign spending and Haley criticizing his record as Florida governor. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's exit from the race is seen as potentially boosting Haley's chances, especially in New Hampshire.
