A Fox News poll. I don't trust Fox News polls... but they tend to lean Democratic, so maybe this is better news than it appears.
A new national poll released Wednesday showed President Biden trailing all three lead GOP presidential candidates: former President Donald Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley.
According to the survey, conducted this month by Marquette Law School, Trump has an advantage of 52% to 48% over Biden among registered voters, while DeSantis holds a 51% to 49% advantage in a head-to-head matchup with the president. And Haley, who also previously served as governor of South Carolina, holds a 55% to 45% edge over Biden, the largest lead among Republican candidates.
The survey showed that Trump's edge over Biden has grown considerably since July, when Marquette's poll showed the pair tied at 50%. It further showed DeSantis' lead over Biden has remained consistent in that same time span.
And while all three of the top Republican candidates lead Biden, Trump is the only one who leads among Independent voters. Haley, meanwhile, has the largest support among Democrat voters compared to Trump and DeSantis.
You don't say.
Trump has an edge of 54% to 46% over Biden among independents. Biden leads DeSantis 53% to 47% and Haley 51% to 49% among Independents.

At the same time, Haley draws the support of 15% of Democrat voters, while Trump gets 11% and DeSantis gets 8%.
In addition, the Marquette poll showed Trump, for the first time this year, has taken a lead among registered voters who report being reluctant to choose either him or Biden. Trump leads Biden in that category by a margin of 53% to 47%, a big shift from Biden's 55% to 42% lead as recently as September.
The most recent poll comes as the White House continues to claim it is not concerned about polling, which continues to show Biden's approval rating falling and his 2024 prospects waning.
Fox News's poll also claims that Trump would beat the various Democrats who would likely run in Biden's place.
The same poll found that Trump leads Vice President Kamala Harris 50% to 45%, California Gov. Gavin Newsom 49% to 45%, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer 48% to 46% and outgoing Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) 47% to 46% in hypothetical head-to-head matchups.
They didn't bother polling to see if DeSantis would beat them as well. I assume he would.
It should be noted that these polls do not include third party candidates like RFK Jr., who is expected to draw heavily from Trump, due to Trump's position on the vaccine as well as clinging to the choices he made to lock the country down.
Nikki Haley just met with Wall Street titans, including super-woke DEI/ESG champion Larry Fink of Black Rock, and the former head of Goldman Sachs. Another noted bastion of conservative values.
So she has that going for her, which is nice.
Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley met with several Wall Street executives in a series of events Tuesday in her bid to be the Republican nominee for president, according to the Financial Times.
Haley attended a small meet-and-greet breakfast in New York where CEO of BlackRock Larry Fink was in attendance, followed by a fundraiser later in the day co-hosted by Gary Cohn, former president of Goldman Sachs, according to the FT. BlackRock has been criticized by conservatives in recent years for its adoption and promotion of Environment, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) policies, which aim to invest in companies based on their commitment to social and environmental causes.
I'm wondering when Nikki Haley will begin paying a price for demanding that the government get its paws on the names of anyone who wants to speak publicly:
He speaks there about Nikki Haley's support of government digital currency.
And there's Nikki, meeting with Wall Streeters.
