Uncomfortable Nikki Haley backers weigh their options with Election Day looming [View all]

(NBC News) Kamala Harris’ deployment of prominent Republican Trump critics hasn’t convinced a new focus group of voters who backed Nikki Haley in the GOP presidential primary.

But even if many of these Haley voters won’t cast their ballot for Harris this fall, the constant controversy surrounding Trump may cost him votes this fall — a dynamic typified by the almost universally negative reaction to the harsh and at times racist rhetoric at Donald Trump’s weekend rally in New York City.

Such reaction was seen among the 11 focus group participants in a new NBC News Deciders Focus Group conducted Monday evening, produced in collaboration with Syracuse University and the research firms Engagious and Sago. For many of these Haley supporters, particularly the seven Republicans and three independents, the episode was a reminder of why they soured on Trump in the first place.
