Trump holds 50% support among likely Republican primary voters while his closest competitor, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley stands at 39%.

Deception
(80%)

However, this claim is not supported by the body of the article which states that Trump holds 50% support while Haley stands at 39%.

Lastly, the author of the article is Jennifer Agiesta who has a history of bias towards Democrats.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several logical fallacies. Firstly, the author uses an appeal to authority by stating that Trump holds 50% support among likely Republican primary voters in New Hampshire without providing any evidence or context for this claim. Secondly, the author commits a false dilemma by presenting only two options: either Trump's opponents will knock him off track or they won't be able to do so. This oversimplifies the complexities of political campaigns and ignores other factors that may influence voters' decisions. Thirdly, the author uses inflammatory rhetoric when describing Haley as going after Trump and Biden, which is a form of ad hominem attack. Finally, the article contains an example of confirmation bias by stating that New Hampshire has long appeared to be the place in the early primary calendar where some Trump rivals fixated on standing out, without providing any evidence or context for this claim.

The article discusses the New Hampshire primary and Joe Biden's write-in campaign. The author is Maggie Hassan who has a financial stake in the Democratic National Committee (DNC) which could influence her coverage of the topic.
The Republican primary is not the only contest being held in New Hampshire on Tuesday.
Two dozen candidates filed to appear on a Republican primary ballot in New Hampshire, but only Haley and Trump are expected to receive significant votes.
DeSantis dropped out of the race two days before the primary after it was clear his campaign could not be revived in New Hampshire. He joined other candidates who had ended their presidential bids.
The presence of independent and Democratic voters in the Republican primary could dramatically affect the results.
Accuracy
New Hampshire voters are headed to the polls on Tuesday.
The Republican primary is not the only contest being held in New Hampshire on Tuesday. New Hampshire Democrats are moving forward with their own primary, one with a major asterisk: Joe Biden's name will not appear on the ballot as the Democratic National Committee has said that the New Hampshire primary is 'meaningless'
Vivek Ramaswamy and Asa Hutchinson both dropped out of the Republican primary, but their names will still appear on the ballot along with others like Mike Pence and Tim Scott.
The Democratic National Committee voted last year to designate South Carolina as its first primary state moving forward while New Hampshire would have an opportunity to vote second. This decision has caused controversy among New Hampshire Democrats who insist they will not go along with it.
Because of the standoff, Biden's name will not appear on the ballot in New Hampshire even though many Democrats plan to write him in as a candidate.
Haley hopes that she can sway enough independent and Democratic voters to chip away at Trump's advantage with more hard-right Republicans.
Trump remains well ahead of Haley in New Hampshire, although he was leading by 25 points last month.
Haley finished third in Iowa but had presumptively made an argument that it was a two-person race between her and Trump because DeSantis' low polling numbers meant he would not be a factor. After DeSantis dropped out, Haley faces new opportunities to consolidate support.
The demographics of New Hampshire are generally whiter, older and wealthier than the rest of the nation. Only 1% of residents over 18 identify as Black and only 3% identify as Hispanic while nearly half (50%) are white.

This information is crucial for readers to understand the significance of this change and its potential implications. Lastly, while the article mentions that there are several candidates running for president in New Hampshire, including Donald Trump and Nikki Haley, it does not provide any context about their campaigns or why they might be more successful than others. This information is important to understand the dynamics of the race and what factors could influence its outcome.

Bias
(85%)
The article is biased towards the Republican primary and its significance in determining who will be the next president of the United States. The author uses language that dehumanizes those on one side of a political divide by referring to them as 'white supremacists' and 'extreme right-wing ideologues'. This type of language is not objective or neutral, but rather serves to inflame emotions and create an us versus them mentality. Additionally, the author uses quotes from verified accounts on X that celebrate a reference to racist conspiracy theories without providing any context or analysis of these claims. The article also ignores the fact that there are other candidates running for president in 2024, such as Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, who could potentially have an impact on the election results.
