When given a choice between believing the narrative fed by the leftist mainstream media and their own eyes, Americans should trust what they see. And what they saw on the campaign trail over the weekend was more than telling.

Former President Donald Trump was greeted by boisterous and enthusiastic crowds in New Hampshire ahead of the Tuesday primary. People flocked by the thousands to hear his resounding message of America First.

And even the liberal press is catching on that Trump’s momentum will steamroll his remaining rivals.

CNN reported Sunday that the 45th president extended his New Hampshire lead over former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley to double digits. The outlet noted Trump holds 50% of support from likely Granite State GOP primary voters.

Meanwhile, Haley sits at 39% according to the latest CNN poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire.

In early January, Trump held a 39% to 32% lead over Haley. Fresh off his resounding Iowa victory, Trump now enjoys his largest level of support in the state hosting the nation’s first primary this week. 

Haley is riding what will likely be a brief surge in New Hampshire as the field of major Republican candidates shrank from six to three. But even as she absorbed some moderate backing, she is far from overtaking Trump.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sits at a meager 6% in the primary state. He largely bypassed New Hampshire to attempt to rally his campaign for a strong push in South Carolina.

This is a far cry from headier days early last year when the Florida governor polled at the top of the Republican field in the state. It has long been known that if Trump was vulnerable, it was in New Hampshire.

That makes the recent poll numbers even more impressive for the former president. 

The New Hampshire GOP requires that a primary candidate receive 10% of the primary vote to win delegates. Once considered Trump’s strongest rival, DeSantis now appears ready to fall short of even that meager mark.

And while DeSantis will likely fare better in the South, there is simply no comparison in the level of grassroots backing he garners with that of the wildly popular Trump.
