Americans’ eyes are on only one of the 50 states, New Hampshire, to determine the identity of the two main candidates for the Republican and Democratic parties, who will compete in the general elections to reach the White House in November 2024.
At the level of the Republican Party, the chances of former US President Donald Trump seem to be the best, as more than 90 charges brought against him in the judiciary were unable to undermine his popularity in New Hampshire. On the contrary, with every new accusation, opinion polls said one thing: Trump is increasing in popularity and acceptance. Among Americans, especially Republican voters, >
The latest opinion polls conducted in the state of New Hampshire specifically showed his lead over his competitor, whether Nikki Haley, the former US delegate to the United Nations and the former governor of South Carolina, or Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, which has a large electoral size.
Numbers in New Hampshire indicate that Trump enjoys the support of 50 percent of the voters here, compared to 39 percent for his closest competitor, Nikki Haley, who is seeking to snatch a fateful victory in this state after her loss in Iowa, and coming in third place, with a wide margin from Trump.
If Haley loses this state as well, her chances may end early in her election campaign, but if the unexpected happens and she snatches a victory from Trump, she will return strongly to the race, to snatch the party’s nomination ticket, before Super Tuesday next March.
DeSantis’ popularity declines
On the other hand, the DeSantis campaign is suffering severely in the state of New Hampshire in light of the Florida Governor’s clearly low popularity here. In recent opinion polls, he ranked third and last after Trump and Haley, with only six points, which almost puts him out of the race, if these numbers are true. Polling day.
Privacy of interests
As for the issues that concern candidates in the state of New Hampshire, immigration is at the forefront, followed by democracy and the American Constitution, and economic issues fall to the bottom.
This comes in contrast to the popular situation throughout the country, where the cost of living is in first place without dispute at all, which seems understandable in light of the low and clearly lower prices in this state compared to other states, in terms of fuel and food prices.
Trump’s chance
On the other hand, this state appears to be a great opportunity for Nikki Haley, Trump’s rival for leadership of the Republican Party, for a simple reason related to the electoral technology here, as independent voters or those who have not declared their party affiliation are allowed to participate in the Republican Party primary elections and cast their votes. This is the electoral segment in which Haley enjoys significant popular support, according to opinion polls.
On the other hand, and on the other side, the Democratic camp, the name of the current US President, Joe Biden, was not officially put on the ballot, due to internal technical matters related to arranging the voting date for the state of New Hampshire, which caused a dispute over this point, which opens the way for the residents of New Hampshire. To add Biden’s name personally, which is specific to the American electoral system, as the voter can add the name of his candidate if it is not on the electoral paper.
Opinion polls showed Biden leading in New Hampshire through this electoral trick, if it can be described as such, by 60 percent, while Democratic Representative Dean Phelps came behind him by a large margin, with only ten percent, and finally candidate Marianne Williamson with nine percent.
