Survey participants said that if the presidential candidate were former UN Ambassador and former Governor of South Carolina Nikki Haley, 58 percent would support the Republican Party, while Biden’s support would decrease to 42 percent, in this equation.
When asked about their preference for the Republican Party’s presidential candidate, 73 percent of undecided voters chose Trump, while 15 percent opted for Haley.
