Haley Campaign Press Release - POLL: Haley's Comet Keeps Rising

CHARLESTON, S.C. - As Nikki Haley barnstorms Iowa with 10 town halls, a new poll shows her surging in New Hampshire, too. A just-released poll from St. Anselm's College shows Haley on the rise and within striking distance of Donald Trump. Haley now receives 30% of the vote vs. Trump's 44%. The rest of the field is far behind.

This latest surge comes after Haley received a much-coveted endorsement from New Hampshire's popular Governor Chris Sununu and Americans for Prosperity Action, the largest conservative, grassroots organization in the country.

What people are saying...

Gov. Chris Sununu: Let's Go! The momentum behind @NikkiHaley is real.

Gram Slattery, Reuters: Haley becomes the first Trump challenger to break the 30% threshold in a major early state poll since at least the spring

Adam Sexton, WMUR: There's a big gap separating Trump and Haley from the rest of the pack... The bottom line is that this could be one of the first signs that the Republican primary is entering a more dynamic phase after being relatively frozen in place for several months.

Aaron Blake, Washington Post: Last week, a CBS poll showed Haley within 15 of Trump in New Hampshire. The new St. Anselm College poll shows her within 14. The former spanned Sununu's endorsement of her; the latter was conducted days later.
