<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As Republican presidential candidates make moves and gain endorsements in Iowa and New Hampshire before the first ballots are cast next month, one stark reality remains for the trailing GOP hopefuls: Donald Trump’s massive polling lead in both states.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In Iowa — a state seen as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ best shot to pull off an early upset — Trump’s lead has grown larger from a week ago as the former president now posts a 30-point polling advantage in the state, according to the </span><a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2024/president/ia/2024_iowa_republican_presidential_caucus-8164.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">RealClearPolitics</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> average. Trump’s lead is slightly smaller in New Hampshire, where he is ahead of the second-place former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley by 25 points.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Haley won a major <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-hampshire-governor-sununu-endorses-nikki-haley-for-president" target="_blank" rel="noopener">endorsement</a> in New Hampshire Tuesday night when Republican Governor Chris Sununu publically announced his support for the former South Carolina governor at a campaign event in Manchester. Sununu, a strong Trump critic, endorsed Haley after spending time with both <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2023/10/24/desantis-sununu-new-hampshire/71304845007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeSantis</a> and former New Jersey Governor <a href="https://nhjournal.com/christie-campaigns-with-sununu-but-talks-about-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chris Christie</a> on the campaign trail in the first primary state. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sununu’s endorsement was vital for Haley’s campaign after her rival DeSantis secured the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/iowa-governor-reynolds-endorses-desantis-for-president-hes-the-person-we-need-leading-this-country" target="_blank" rel="noopener">endorsement</a> of Iowa Republican Governor Kim Reynolds last month. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Even with the endorsements, DeSantis and Haley will need to cover a lot of ground in the next month to be competitive with the former president. The most recent </span><a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2024/president/ia/2024_iowa_republican_presidential_caucus-8164.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Iowa</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> poll from NBC News and the Des Moines Register gave Trump a majority of the support in the Hawkeye State at 51% to DeSantis’ 19% and Haley’s 16%. Tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy (5%), Christie (3.7%), and former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson (1%) trailed at the bottom of the pack in the Iowa poll. A Trafalgar Group poll of Iowa conducted at the beginning of the month put Trump’s support at 45%, leading DeSantis who came in at 22%, and Haley at 19%. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the latest </span><a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2024/president/nh/2024_new_hampshire_republican_presidential_primary-7396.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">New Hampshire</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> poll conducted over the weekend by the Trafalgar Group, Trump sits at 45%, Haley comes in second at 18%, Christie comes in third at 14%, DeSantis sits in fourth at 11%, and Ramaswamy posts 10%. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trump’s good polling also flows into a hypothetical rematch with President Joe Biden. Trump leads the president by 2.3 percentage points in the RCP average as of Wednesday afternoon. In </span><a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2024/president/us/general-election-trump-vs-biden-7383.html#polls"><span style="font-weight: 400;">dozens of national polls</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on the 2024 general election conducted since the beginning of November, Trump has topped most of them, posting as big as six-point advantages over Biden in some polls. </span></p>
