Former President Donald Trump has pulled away from Republican presidential primary opponent Nikki Haley by more than 10 percentage points in New Hampshire just days before voters in the Granite State head to the polls.
A University of New Hampshire survey conducted for CNN that was released Sunday showed Mr. Trump up by 11 percentage points over the former South Carolina governor and ex-U.N. ambassador, with 50% support among likely GOP primary voters compared to Ms. Haley’s 39%.
Other recent polls have showed the two more closely tied.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis polled at 6%, as his campaign denies rumors that his departure from the race is imminent because of canceled events and media appearances.
The pressure is on Ms. Haley to perform in Tuesday’s primary following a third-place finish in the Iowa caucuses and Mr. Trump’s commanding 30-point win.
The poll was conducted Jan. 16-19 among 1,210 likely Republican primary voters in New Hampshire and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.
