Nikki Haley starts arduous campaign in 2 key states, will have Wall St fundraiser

A Rasmussen poll last week showed her beating President Joe Biden by 4 per cent in a head-to-head contest, with a support of 45 per cent to 41 per cent for him -- an improvement from a Public Policy Polling survey the previous week showing her behind by 6 per cent.
