Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis are losing even second place in the 2024 Republican primary, according to a recent national poll.
DeSantis, 45, and Haley, 51, each earned 8%, while former President Donald Trump dominated all of his Republican peers with 59% support, according to the Emerson College poll.
All other candidates hovered in the low single digits, with former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Vice President Mike Pence and billionaire businessman Vivek Ramaswamy each garnering 3% support.
Ten percent of voters were undecided.
Haley’s performance marked a rebound of about five points from a similar Emerson College poll last month, capping an upward trajectory in the polls she has been on since the first Republican debate in August.
He still trails DeSantis in RealClearPolitics’ latest polling aggregate, averaging 7.4% nationally, while DeSantis took 12.8% and Trump, 77, got 59.1%. .
The former South Carolina governor recently earned an endorsement from the Palmetto State’s Post and Courier newspaper.

Haley and DeSantis have had a war of words in recent days over whether the United States should accept refugees from Gaza.
The candidates and their respective allies have also fought behind the scenes to block donors.
Meanwhile, the Trump campaign has sat back and watched from the sidelines, amused, with one Trump adviser characterizing it as a “biggest loser fight with Nikki” to The Post.
Campaign spokesman Steven Cheung also criticized the two in social media posts.
In addition to Trump leading his competition in the primaries, the Emerson College poll placed him with a 47% to 45% lead over President Biden.
“Of those who say they hold Biden responsible for the economy, 58% said they are worse off financially than a year ago and 23% said they are better off,” explained Matt Taglia, senior director of Emerson College Polling.
“Of those who hold Trump responsible for the current economy, 39% reported that they were better off financially, while 27% said they were worse off.”

Trump also retains a minuscule 0.6 percentage point lead over Biden in the latest aggregate of national polls from RealClearPolitics.
The Emerson poll was conducted Oct. 16-17 among 1,578 registered voters with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.4 percentage points.
