Nikki Haley at the time, but she's still far from Trump

It is college-educated Republican voters and men, contrary to conventional wisdom, who are driving Haley's rise, according to an average of polls posted on page 538 of the website.

The analysis shows that college-educated voters are not only the most likely to support Haley, but their support also appears to be growing at the fastest rate, doubling since October.

However, what is more difficult to explain is the sharp rise in men's approval of the former South Carolina ambassador.

Haley explicitly stated that she does not believe in “glass ceilings” or “identity politics,” as the report made clear by highlighting that although she is the only woman in the Republican field, she is not targeting her campaign only toward her peers.

However, although support for her is growing, it is still far from Trump's levels of support, but the advantage is that, coming from below and without much initial confidence in her candidacy, she has managed to work her way into equalizing Trump. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who started the session in a much stronger position, is fading.

But Haley has her soft spot among evangelicals, while Trump and DeSantis have a better punch.

This is a detail that must be taken into account because the former president claimed to have iron control among evangelicals (about 70 percent), while DeSantis's percentage was down 10 percent.

The study noted that although Haley has made some gains in this demographic, she has not absorbed much of DeSantis' decline.

So, if evangelicals don't see her as loyal to their cause as they want, she may have a hard time winning critical mass from them.

So Haley's relative weakness against voters of that faith could be a problem for her, since they are largely overrepresented among the caucuses in Iowa, the state that will close the curtain on the Republican primary, and the country leading up to the November 5 election. November.

Haley and DeSantis held their last debate last night before the January 15 caucuses in Iowa, when voters will have their first test at the polls before November.

While the two were sparring face-to-face on CNN in Des Moines, Trump was with Fox News in the same city making his pitch on camera.

Before the Haley-DeSantis duel, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie withdrew from the presidential race. A fact that would favor the lady in the competition.
