Interesting. Polls showing a substantial number of Republican voters will back Biden over Orange Donald.

"It’s an issue that became starkly apparent in polling ahead of the Iowa caucuses, when an NBC News/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll of voters in that state found that fully 43 percent of Nikki Haley supporters said they would back President Joe Biden over Trump."
A counter theory is that the vast majority of the Nikki Hayley supports are democrats that have always voted democrat who have jumped on the primary's and voted for Nikki to make sure that "Trump doesn't run for president".
It's like a while lot of labor supports joining NZfirst so they can vote Winnie off as leader (if you follow NZ politics).
How true either theory is I guess we'll find out come the elections.
However to think that 40% of republican's are going to vote for a president with the lowest approval rating of all time does seem rather fanciful.
