Haley Campaign Press Release - New NYT/Siena Poll Shows Haley Continues to Wipe the Floor with Joe Biden by 10 Points

Donald Trump barely squeaks by against a very unpopular president

A new New York Times/Siena poll is the latest to show Nikki Haley wipes the floor with Joe Biden, beating him by double digits, 45% to 35%. Donald Trump barely squeaks by against a very unpopular Biden.

"Republicans cannot win with Donald Trump. He is barely squeaking by against a deeply unpopular president, while Nikki Haley wins by double digits. Donald Trump a few years ago would have called that losing," said Haley spokesperson AnnMarie Graham-Barnes. "Nikki Haley brings people back into the GOP fold and easily clinches states Republicans haven't won in 20 years. Huge numbers of Americans are using their voices to tell the establishment that they're ready for a return to normalcy and a new generation of conservative leadership."

Key points from NYT:

• Nikki Haley, Mr. Trump's Republican rival, who has made the case that he will lose in November, leads Mr. Biden by double the margin of the former president: a hypothetical 45 percent to 35 percent.

• The share of voters who strongly disapprove of Mr. Biden's handling of his job has reached 47 percent, higher than in Times/Siena polls at any point in his presidency.

• Both Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden are unpopular. Mr. Trump had a weak 44 percent favorable rating; Mr. Biden fared even worse, at 38 percent. Among the 19 percent of voters who said they disapproved of both likely nominees — an unusually large cohort in 2024 that pollsters and political strategists sometimes call "double haters" — Mr. Biden actually led Mr. Trump, 45 percent to 33 percent.

This follows yesterday's Roanoke College poll showing Haley up by 9 points in Virginia, a light blue state that's eluded Republicans since 2004. In contrast, Trump, once again, loses Virginia to Biden by 4 points.
