Great news for the former president in the Lone Star State…
According to the latest polling out of the University of Texas, former President Donald Trump is comfortable ahead of President Joe Biden in a hypothetical rematch and far and away ahead of GOP opponent former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.
From NEWSMAX:
Trump leads President Joe Biden by 7 points in a head-to-head matchup (48% to 41%) in the latest University of Texas polling, extending that lead to 9 points when third-party and independent candidates are added (45% to 36%).
Factoring in the Republican Party presidential primary, Trump’s dominance in the state shows even more, as he is leading South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley by 71 points, drawing 80% support to just 9% for his last remaining primary opponent.
Despite Trump’s strong polling nationwide, Haley is committed to staying in the race until “the last person votes.”
“I refuse to quit. South Carolina will vote on Saturday. But on Sunday, I will still be running for president. I’m not going anywhere. I’m campaigning every day until the last person votes,” Haley said during a State of the Race speech on Tuesday.
