Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Haley has no chance of stopping Trump despite historical precedent and polls suggesting she is a major underdog in her home state on Saturday and in the 16 Super Tuesday contests to follow. This statement is misleading as it implies that Haley's chances are zero when, in fact, there is still a possibility for her to win. Secondly, the author likens Trump to Democratic President Joe Biden by stating that both are too old and divisive. However, this comparison is not accurate as they belong to different political parties with different ideologies and policies. Lastly, the article mentions Haley's husband being in Africa on military service but does not provide any context or information about his condition or safety which could be used for emotional manipulation.

The author uses inflammatory rhetoric when describing Trump's behavior and actions towards Haley. For example, they describe him as 'perhaps the most volatile major party front-runner in U.S. history', which is an exaggeration that lacks evidence to support it.
The author also uses an appeal to authority by citing polls that suggest Haley is a major underdog in her home state on Saturday and in the 16 Super Tuesday contests to follow.

The author also uses an example of a dilemma when describing Haley's decision to stay in the race despite facing significant obstacles. They describe her refusal to quit as 'defiant', which suggests that she is not taking into account the potential consequences of her actions.

Erin Doherty is using her position as a journalist to promote the narrative that Nikki Haley's campaign is under attack from those within the Republican party. She uses quotes from Haley herself to support this claim and presents it in a way that makes it seem like she has insider knowledge of what these politicians are saying behind closed doors. This is an example of deceptive reporting as Doherty implies that there are people who want Haley out, but does not provide any evidence for this beyond her own words.

To win the state, Nikki Haley will need a corresponding spike in the share of independents and Democrats crossing over to support her.
Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it presents Nikki Haley's performance as a simple story of her strength among independents and Democrats crossing over to participate in the GOP contest being overwhelmed by large deficits she faced with actual Republican voters. However, this oversimplifies the situation and ignores other factors that may have contributed to her losses. Secondly, it presents Haley's challenge as a math problem of reducing the clout of a voting bloc that appears hostile to her by plummeting their share in South Carolina GOP primaries to an all-time low on Saturday and spiking the share of independents and Democrats crossing over to support her. This oversimplifies Haley's challenge as simply winning over non-Republicans, ignoring other factors that may have contributed to her losses. Thirdly, it presents a comparison between South Carolina GOP primary electorates this century with New Hampshire GOP primary last month without disclosing the sources of these figures or providing any context for how they were obtained.

Despite her favorite daughter status, polling puts her far behind Donald Trump in South Carolina with no indication that she’s made any new inroads with core Republican voters.

Bias
(85%)
The article is biased towards Nikki Haley's campaign and her struggles to gain support from Republican voters. The author uses language that dehumanizes Republicans by portraying them as hostile to Haley. Additionally, the author uses examples of polling data that are not representative of all Republicans in South Carolina, which could be seen as an attempt to manipulate public opinion.
Among independents, Haley crushed Trump by 19 points. And she fared even better among Democrats, who gave her 84% of their votes.
The share of self-identified Republicans has ranged from just over 60% to as high as 80%. By comparison, self-identified Republicans in the New Hampshire GOP primary last month accounted for barely 50% of the electorate. So, barring an unforeseen surge of these voters, Haley will probably need this number to plummet to an all-time low on Saturday.
