Going into Super Tuesday, Nikki Haley's support boosted by her appeal to independents, women
CBSN
Donald Trump holds a commanding lead over Nikki Haley in Republicans' preferences and in delegates going into the Super Tuesday contests. So what do we make of Nikki Haley winning a quarter and sometimes a third of the vote in these early primaries — and what should we make of it if she does so on Super Tuesday?
Most Republicans aren't ready to cross party lines come November: almost all self-identified Republicans nationwide — 96% — say they'd vote for Trump in a matchup with President Joe Biden. Instead, Haley's support in primary contests so far has often come from independents and some Democrats who've come into the GOP primaries, but she fares more poorly among self-identified Republicans.
However, it might mean there are some voters that the GOP could be leaving up for grabs if she's not the nominee. Nikki Haley continues to hold an advantage over Donald Trump in a potential general election match-up with Joe Biden largely because she does better nationally with independents, moderates and women.
