Haley has 17-point lead over Biden: WSJ poll

(NewsNation) — Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has a 17-point lead over President Joe Biden in a hypothetical matchup presented in a new Wall Street Journal poll.
The WSJ poll also shows Haley almost surpassing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for the spot behind former President Donald Trump.
Haley has enjoyed a recent rise in several polls as her presidential campaign gains momentum.
"On any given day, Trump and Biden are even. On a good day, he's up by two, he might be up by four. It's all margin of error. In every one of those polls, I was up by 10 to 13. Now I'm up by 17 points," Haley said at a recent rally.
Haley's campaign team is now focusing on independent voters, particularly in New Hampshire, hoping to win over voters with lackluster support for Biden and Trump.
Meanwhile, Biden is reaching the lowest polling numbers of his presidency following his response to the Israel-Hamas war and his overall job performance.
Despite Haley's spike in polls, Trump maintains a significant lead over Republican candidates, expanding his lead in Iowa with just five weeks until the crucial caucuses. More than half of likely Iowa caucus-goers say Trump is their first choice.

And there you go...........................
This will make the dems vote for Trump in the primaries they can vote in. Then the pussy hats will be out in full force when they realize they played a part in Trump being elected. I can't wait to see the exploding heads on CNN and MSNBC on election night 2024. I still watch the 2016 coverage when I need a good laugh.
That's good, she's got my vote if nominated.
The brain dead Dems are quickly running out of time to pick someone to replace old and senile pedo Joe....the "Hawkeye Caucci" is set to come up in just 34 days on Jan 15. New Hampshire follows closely behind on Jan 23.
They can't say we didn't warn them!!! We'll finally see how strong Trump's support is.
This seed is talking about Haley's matchup against Biden. Would you prefer Trump as the GOP over Haley??
She’s not going to win the republican nomination. If she does, Biden will drop out for health reasons.
Of course he would................
Is she too diverse?
Lol. Race on the brain, eh?
Seems to be the case with many around here every time a black woman is elevated to a position of prominence ... AGs, Judges, presidents of whatnot, VPs, poll workers ...
Like in 3.2.
That might be why the dems don't like her though. Many seem to hate strong women of color that broke out of the plantation.
No, as in all the comments about she "checked all the boxes".
If Nikki falls short it won't be because of the left but because far too many on the right gaze upon Aaron's 'gift' in heels up disillusioned wonderment.
I must have missed those. I wasn't aware it was repubs that picked people based on the number of boxes checked
Save it for those that swallow that shyte.
Too bad the gop is bound and determined to nominate Trump.
Trump is leading both Desantis and Haley by over fifty points...
She will kick Biden into the dark ages where he was born.
Here we go. Last week it was Desantis. Next it will be Christy.
Everyone knows the gop is going to nominate Trump, again...
Not if Trump is the GOP nominee. Those who say they will vote for Trump if he is the nominee are helping him become the nominee.
Instead of voting for Trump if he is the nominee, those loyal Rs should be actively pushing for Haley to be the nominee and pushing Trump out.
But they are not doing so. In result, the GOP will be stuck with Trump as their nominee and these 'loyal' Rs will be stuck voting for Trump and then trying to live down their irrational, irresponsible and unpatriotic act.
I saw a video by the never Trumper Tim Miller. He thinks the idea that Haley has a chance is wild wishful thinking. The majority of Republicans LIKE Trump, and would never accept Haley as a substitute. The only way they MIGHT accept her is if Trump wasnt running.
She has zero chance to beat Trump in a primary election. Her only hope is that Trump for some reason drops out.
Opinion only.
IMO it seems more dems have buyers remorse for biden in 2020 than reps have for trump in 2016.
They probably won't think there act is irrational, irresponsible or unpatriotic or care about any opinion that says they are.
Do you think it is wise to make Trump the nominee for the GOP?
Why is it that some feel compelled to tell others that a comment in a social media forum is opinion when it obviously is an opinion? Is that really the very best 'rebuttal' you could offer?
The fact that I offered an opinion does not make it false. Especially since I can make a sound argument supporting my opinion.
Trump is the only PotUS in our history who has tried to steal a presidential election. He is a traitor who attempted to stay in power through coercion, lying, fraud, and incitement. He violated his oath of office by trying to circumvent the CotUS and attempted to violate the foundation of our democracy — the votes of the electorate.
Truth
Could be because many folks seem to believe their opinion is fact or truth. It is hard to be sure unless IMO is in the post.
Some have to have something to type, even if it is just a continual regurgitation of things commonly known and accepted or repeating comments here.
Who is everyone? No one asked me what I know.
I thought the only things you could be sure of were death and taxes. Are you adding a third?
"Everyone knows".
Be mindful what Reagan told us about liberals who 'know'.
Or Consequences. A great game
One of my favorites
You mean like rephrasing the same question then getting mad when the answer doesn't change?
I have vowed to not answer any more silly questions.
That's the one!
And many liberals are being very helpful in still proving him right.
Lets face it Tig, some people will go to any lengths, DAY AFTER DAY, to defend Donald Trump. And these are often the same people who say they will never vote for him. It doesnt compute. It is nonsense . Its embarrassing to say they support him so they do a tap dance and in the meanwhile defend him every day. This is all totally transparent.
Some folks confuse support for Trump with people just asking for a little common sense to be employed instead of constant attacks 24/7--most of which have been repeated ad nauseum here daily.
I think it is fair to presume that most people who are thinking rationally believe that their opinion if more likely true than false.
It would be irrational to express an opinion that you believe is more than likely false.
Do you believe your opinions are likely true?
When you opine, do you believe you are stating that is likely true or likely false?
If you are not running around with your hair on fire then you support Trump.
Yes.
It must be infuriating to some when some people won't drink the cool aid they are consistently offering that they feel the need to make up things about them.
Then why would you attempt to criticize me for opining ("Opinion only") and for believing that what I write is likely more true than false (@4.1.140)?
What in your mind is wrong with offering an opinion that one believes is likely true?
I didn't say more likely.
I said some people feel their opinion is fact, not more likely.
Why do you feel the need to change the meaning of what I stated?
Who do you think believes their opinion is absolute 100% fact?
Why do you feel the need to change the meaning of what I stated?
Easier that way.
The cynical me would say it is an attempt to get someone to defend what they never said and then try to deflect away from it when called out on it but it is almost Christmas so I will try and be good.
This:
Could be interpreted fairly or could be taken (absurdly) literally.
I gave RDtC the benefit of the doubt and did not take his use of the word 'believe' to mean 100% certainly. Most people hold beliefs with various levels of confidence. I think most rational adults would state that when they believe something to be true that they are not 100% certain.
But I guess RDtC wants us to interpret his comment as if he wrote:
Could be because many folks
seem to believeknow that their opinion is fact or truth.In that case, I think that might be true for theistic gnostics (gnostic theist, gnostic atheist) and nutcases like Trump, but most people do not live on the 100% extreme edge.
I do not feel that need.
see @4.1.34
And I replied yes. It could be true, it could be false. Thus the "yes" answer.
You dodged the questions.

As much as I love to reread everything written all over again, I got it the first time I read it.
Nothing in your post changes mine.
Your opinion.......of course I would think it true but am totally open to someone trying to convince me it is likely false. Therefore, once again, could be true, could be false. It may evolve.
Normal discourse: One states one's opinion. That opinion is accepted or rejected. If rejected (and challenged) then the 'opiner' has the option to support their opinion with an argument.
In short, we lead with our opinions. Those of us who think things through before opining are ready to back up our opinions with a sound argument based on credible evidence.
Seems to me that there are far too many tossing out 'opinions' (and quips) who, when challenged, realize that they do not actually know what they are talking about. Thus instead of rising to the occasion and supporting their opinion with an argument, they dodge and/or engage in dishonest tactics.
Yet you did it anyway
Looks like the cynical me was right. Almost Christmas. Bah Humbug

I did not. That is a lie. I explained @4.1.34 that I interpreted your comment fairly rather than take it (absurdly) literally. I did not change the meaning, I gave you the benefit of the doubt that you were not trying to make a ridiculous statement.
You are complaining that you expected people to take this comment from you:
... and have it literally mean ...
Could be because many folks seem to
believeknow that their opinion is fact or truth.A belief typically includes some measure of uncertainty; the word 'know' (clearer is the phrase 'be absolutely certain') is typically used to connote fact / truth.
Given you want your words interpreted in an extreme (absurd) sense, I ask you this question:
Who do you think believes their opinion is absolute 100% fact; no element of uncertainty?
As the great baseball hall of famer Yogi Berra famously said "It ain't over till it''s over!". I will still vote for Haley over Trump any day.
While I wholeheartedly agree with you, it is over unless Trump is somehow forced out.
Yep. You never know. Hopefully as it gets closer to primaries and people start to take it seriously more will see 3 of the 4 others are worth listening to.
Every some odd years I reread the foundation trilogy by Asimov.
The Democrats aren't afraid of Haley.
She has proven to be Establishment enough that if elected that the past seven plus years of FBI/DOJ/Democrat abuse of the system will be swept under the rug.
Their will be minor procedural changes in the way the FBI/DOJ do business- and we will be assured "That this will never happen again"; and the government will get back to what it does best. Democrats and Republicans taking pot shots at each other in the media; and the only time they agree to pass anything it will be to screw the average American over and enrich themselves and their benefactors.
I wonder how accurate their polling is vs what we experienced in 2016?
and Time Magazine had so much faith in the polls that they actually printed the edition proclaiming Clinton as POTUS while only doing a mockup in case Trump won.
At this time, I can't imagine the Democrats choosing a worse candidate for POTUS than Biden, but Haley's ties to the war industry probably won't endear her to enough voters to defeat whoever the Democrats National Committee finally chooses as their candidate. I don't know enough about Haley to highlight other possible drawbacks. If the Republicans are playing to win, I don't believe that Haley will be their candidate.
