Thirdly, the article presents DeSantis as having sunk to single digits in some New Hampshire polls which is not accurate. Lastly, it portrays Haley's campaign as being focused solely on independent voters when in fact she has been targeting unaffiliated voters who make up 39% of the state's electorate.

The article is biased towards Donald Trump and his campaign. The author uses language that dehumanizes DeSantis by saying he came in a 'distant second' while Haley was third place finisher.

The author also uses language like 'long odds of stopping the former president', implying that DeSantis and Haley have no chance at all.

The author has conflicts of interest on the topics of Trump and DeSantis. The article mentions that Trump is considering running for president in 2024 and that he has set his sights on New Hampshire as a potential primary state. It also mentions Ron DeSantis, who is currently governor of Florida, as someone who may be considered a rival to Trump's presidential bid.
In 2000, Vice President Al Gore was the frontrunner facing former New Jersey Sen. Bill Bradley.
Independents were drawn to GOP Sen. John McCain in that year's primary and he won his primary; Bradley lost to Gore by just four points and essentially disappeared after that, as Gore won every later contest en route to the nomination.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it presents a false premise that New Hampshire has the power to 'correct' Iowa by brushing aside its results. This is not true as seen from history where many candidates who won Iowa have gone on to win New Hampshire and vice versa.
The article states that Haley did herself no favor in Iowa by observing that New Hampshire corrects the Hawkeye state, but her history is sound. Again and again, the first primary state has brushed aside the results of the first caucus state.

Nikki Haley finished third in the Iowa caucuses and has been gaining ground on Trump in New Hampshire where she hopes to slow his momentum.
Haley's campaign and its allies spent more than $30 million on ads in Iowa, but she still heads into New Hampshire struggling with DeSantis to become the main Trump alternative.

If Mr. DeSantis loses by less than 30 percentage points in Iowa, it will be treated as a win for his campaign.
Deception

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that Iowa voters have been surprisingly influential over the decades and a caucus win has sometimes been enough to propel candidates from a deep deficit or obscurity to the nomination. However, this statement is misleading as it implies that every time there was an upset in Iowa, it led directly to the candidate winning the nomination. This is not true for all cases and many other factors also play a role in determining who wins the presidency.

The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that Iowa voters have been surprisingly influential over the decades and citing specific candidates who won or lost due to their performance in Iowa. This is not a formal fallacy but it does demonstrate a bias towards the importance of Iowa's role in presidential campaigns, which may be influenced by factors other than actual voting patterns.

The article is biased towards Donald Trump and his campaign. The author uses language that dehumanizes other candidates such as Nikki Haley by calling her a 'second-place finisher' even though she has not yet lost the race. Additionally, the author portrays Mr. DeSantis as weak despite him being in second place in polls and having endorsements from influential figures like Kim Reynolds and Bob Vander Plaats.
Historically, based on average turnout as a share of GOP registered voters, turnout might yield something more like 120,000 caucus goers.
Mr. Trump has led by over 30 percentage points in the polls over the last month while Ms. Haley and Mr. DeSantis have languished in the teens.
