Former President Donald Trump boasts a blowout lead over challenger Nikki Haley in the Republican primary race, this week’s Morning Consult survey found.

This week’s tracking poll showed Trump with support from 81 percent of potential Republican primary voters. Haley comes in 63 points behind with 18 percent support — well outside of the survey’s +/-2 percent margin of error.

Another two percent said “someone else.”

According to the survey, Haley’s attacks on Trump’s age are not resonating with GOP primary voters, as only 13 percent “strongly agree” that Trump, 77, is too old to be president.

This week’s Morning Consult survey results are consistent with the results of last week’s survey, as Trump led with 81 percent support to Haley’s 18 percent in last week’s survey as well.

This week’s survey was taken January 26-28, 2024, among 4,044 potential Republican primary voters:

Despite this stark reality — as well as her losses in Iowa and New Hampshire — Haley has made it clear that she plans to remain in the race and compete in her home state and beyond, largely depending on non-conservative voters in open primary states for support.
