Indian-American Nikki Haley beats Biden by 4 points in new poll
New York: US President Joe Biden would lose to Republican presidential candidates Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis and narrowly edge past his predecessor Donald Trump if the 2024 election were to be held now, according to a new poll.
Biden took a one point lead over Trump (49 per cent to 48 per cent), while lagging behind Haley by four points (49 per cent to 45 per cent) and DeSantis by two points in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup, the Fox News survey said.
Released this week, the poll conducted between October 6-9, showed that the Indian-American former South Carolina Governor has made the greatest gains since September, having doubled her numbers with 10 per cent support.
Haley also garnered the highest number of defections among Democrats (9 per cent support her), while Trump gets the least (5 per cent of Democrats back him).
“She has the momentum, she has the experience, and she’s the only person who’s consistently polled as beating Joe Biden in the general election,” former Congressman Will Hurd, who dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, told Forbes.
A CNN poll showed last month that Haley is the only Republican who can beat Biden in the 2024 presidential election.
