A new CNN poll released this week showed Nikki Haley within single digits of Donald Trump in New Hampshire. Some even claimed that if Chris Christie dropped out (which he now has), his supporters would back Haley and put her over the top. Like a lot of you, we didn't believe that poll either. 

Politico politics bureau chief Jonathan Martin published a piece explaining why Haley wouldn't break through:

Martin writes:

The most memorable feature of Haley’s otherwise forgettable gathering was not what she said but the nature of her audience — and how it explains why Trump is poised to win overwhelmingly in Iowa on Monday but will face the same general election challenges in 2024 he did in 2020.

I struggled to find a single attendee in the suburban strip mall tavern who was not a college graduate. Similarly, the day before, I couldn’t find a Haley admirer who showed up to see her in Sioux City who was not also a college graduate.

That caught the eye of The Daily Beast's Matt Lewis, who concluded that having a college degree put you out of touch with the GOP base.

Or maybe that was just an anecdote that didn't really mean anything.

It's odd that the mainstream media really seems to be rallying behind Haley lately, even though every one of them will vote for Joe Biden even if she's the Republican nominee.

So a Politico report "struggled" for two days to find a Haley supporter without a college degree. And that's the basis for this hot take. Haley attracts all the educated voters and yet Donald Trump is going to beat her, sadly.

What a shame that the "elites" are going to be stuck with Trump as the nominee.
