"Nikki Haley's Uphill Battle in South Carolina: GOP Rules and Poll Numbers"

Nikki Haley's strategy for the GOP presidential nomination faces challenges due to delegate rules favoring front-runners, potentially resulting in few delegates despite gaining ground in public opinion. Her campaign's focus on winning states outright is hindered by rules in many states and the majority of delegates being awarded in winner-take-all states. Despite the tough road ahead, Haley's campaign remains focused on the long haul and scrapping for delegates, aiming to shift Republican public opinion and secure a path to victory.
