Just under half of likely Iowa GOP caucusgoers who support former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley indicated that they would make a crossover to the Democratic party, saying that they would rather vote for President Biden over former President Trump.
A new NBC News/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll released just one day before the Iowa caucuses found that 43 percent of Haley backers in the state said they would vote for Biden if Trump is the GOP nominee, while 23 percent say they would vote for the former president. Eight percent said they would vote for independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Overall, 71 percent of likely GOP caucusgoers said they would vote for Trump in 2024, while only 11 percent said they would vote for Biden.
“Haley is consolidating the anti-Trump vote,” J. Ann Selzer, a pollster who has conducted the Iowa survey over the last three decades, told NBC. “She does well with the people who define themselves as anti-Trump.”

I find Haleys positions pretty level headed compared to the MAGA type. If I were republican, I would probably do the same.
She’s not MAGA, but her continued gaffe about slavery and the southern states just tell me she’s a hard right republican, bigotry and regressive ideals included. So I put her in the Mike Pence box; MAGA enabler and flirting with them, but won’t go off the cliff even if they hang her. So participation points I guess?
Yes, but that's exactly why you're not a Republican. You have reasonable, measured opinions on things.
That's a pretty thin line considering she just was in a situation where she wouldn't admit the Civil War was about slavery.
Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater! Republicans still very much like their racism, they don't want to be perceived as racists so readily.
That's also why non-white Nikki Haley will never be president.
Her voting history while she was serving in South Carolina says otherwise.
People should really know the bills she endorsed on things like abortion, immigration, and LGBTQ+ rights.
One of the shorter excerpts from her wiki:
"Haley has stated that, as a daughter of immigrants, she believes the immigration laws should be enforced.[53] She voted in favor of a law that requires employers to be able to prove that newly hired employees are legal residents of the United States, and also requires all immigrants to carry documentation at all times proving that they are legally in the United States."
If you were a Republican, who would you vote for then?
That's pretty impossible for me to answer because I prioritize the issues in a ranked way to narrow down my candidates, and none of the current Republican candidates are worthy of my vote at all.
Above all else, my number one priority, before anything else, is women's rights.
I suppose if you're putting a gun to my head, I would have said Chris Christie but he dropped out earlier this week.
So if I were a Republican, I just wouldn't vote. I'd sit this one out.
You would vote for the jackal Chris Christie... Mr worst in class. Mr hurricane Sandy himself. Not even his own populace in New Jersey would vote for him. I think that's a really odd choice
I mean, again, my top priority is women's rights. New Jersey has no limit on abortion.
When Haley was Governor of South Carolina, abortion was banned after 20 weeks.
I'm assuming you have different priorities. I just want people to know Haley's endorsements from when she was actually serving, and not base all their thoughts on her debates right now.
She's coming off too moderate. She's been really good at politicking. She's not an idiot.
