The battle for second place in the GOP nomination race is heating up as Donald Trump continues to lead the polls. In a recent survey conducted by Emerson College Polling in New Hampshire, Chris Christie has surpassed Ron DeSantis with 9% compared to DeSantis’ 8% support, as reported by the Hill. Trump maintains a commanding lead with 49% support, although this poll was conducted prior to his fourth indictment. Tim Scott holds fourth place with 6% support, while Nikki Haley and Doug Burgum follow closely at 4%. Mike Pence trails behind with only 1% support, leaving 13% of voters undecided.
”DeSantis has consistently been the main alternative to Trump in Emerson polling during this presidential cycle,” stated Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling. “This is the first time we have observed DeSantis falling out of second place in our polling and joining the pool of other candidates.” Christie has focused his campaign efforts on New Hampshire, which holds the second primary, indicating that it is his best opportunity to make an impact in the race, according to the Guardian. DeSantis, on the other hand, has concentrated on Iowa, which hosts the first primary. Both Christie and DeSantis have qualified for the upcoming GOP debate, while Trump has declined to sign the Republican loyalty oath and may choose to skip the debate altogether.
