What rise in the polls? (Starring Nikki Haley)

 
During the past month, Nikki Haley has consistently polled in the 10%-13% range nationally.

The national news media is having a moment, desperate to inject some drama into the 2024 GOP primary.
Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley is having a moment. At 11 percent nationally and 30 percent in New Hampshire, she is polling higher than ever in the Republican presidential primary and has arguably eclipsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as the main alternative to former President Donald Trump. And, not surprisingly, it looks like the group of Republicans who were slowest to accept Trumpism are driving Haley's rise: college-educated voters.

Actually, Haley's ;polling average is down about a percentage point since her early December peak.  That's definitely not a 'surge'.
