Former United States President Donald Trump has a double-digit lead among Republican candidates ahead of the primaries in the US state of New Hampshire, according to a poll commissioned by the channel. CNN.

Thus, two days before the vote in which the Republican Party in New Hampshire will determine the party’s candidate for American president, according to a survey, Trump is leading in terms of support among voters in the state, with 50% of the relevant electorate ready to vote for him. 39% of voters are ready to vote for former US permanent representative to the UN and former governor of South Carolina Nikki Haley. The poll shows just 6 percent of voters will vote for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, four percent less than what is needed to contribute to the state’s assigned votes to determine the Republican nominee in this year’s presidential election.

“New Hampshire was the only early primary state where polls consistently showed Trump’s lack of majority support and voters’ greater willingness to vote for his rivals. But this latest poll shows that Trump’s popularity among the Republican base and the partisanship of his supporters outweigh the appeal of his rivals.”– noted in the media report.

New Hampshire allows voters without party affiliation to vote by party. Among them, Haley’s support is 58%, and Donald Trump’s is 30%. At the same time, among registered representatives of the Republican Party, 67% are ready to vote for Trump, and only 23% are ready to vote for Haley.

The Republican Party primary elections will take place in New Hampshire on January 23.

The US presidential elections will take place in November. On April 25, 2023, current US leader Joe Biden announced that he would seek re-election to the highest government post. Former President Donald Trump announced his entry into the election campaign in November 2022.

On January 15, primary regional elections were held in the state of Iowa, which should determine a single candidate for US President from the Republican Party. Trump won the primaries, receiving 51 percent of the vote.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis came in second with just over 20 percent. Former US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley has even less, 19 percent.
