There is a presidential candidate who has late momentum as time winds down before voters go to caucus or to the polls. 

Nikki Haley has surged in New Hampshire. The latest St. Anslem poll has the former U.N. Ambassador and South Carolina governor just 14 points behind former President Donald Trump. 

1. Donald Trump - 44 percent

2. Nikki Haley - 30 percent

3. Chris Christie - 12 percent

4. Ron DeSantis - 6 percent

5. Vivek Ramaswamy - 5 percent

This poll shows a 15 point jump for Haley since September, when this poll was last conducted, and a one point drop for Trump. It also represents a five point drop for DeSantis.
