In addition, she held a slight advantage among individuals who indicated that they are participating in the GOP primary for the first time, with 51 percent.
According to the survey, Haley holds a significant advantage over the former president among those who believe that democracy is the most crucial issue of the future. A staggering 63 percent of respondents expressed their support for Haley in this regard.
Among those likely to vote in Saturday’s Republican primary, a significant majority of 63 percent expressed their preference for Trump, while 35 percent indicated their intention to cast a ballot in favor of Haley. Trump emerged as the clear frontrunner in this category.
South Carolina holds great importance for Haley’s presidential campaign, considering it is her home state. However, her chances of winning seem slim. A recent poll indicated that Trump continues to dominate in the state, with 65 percent of potential voters favoring him.
