Republican and independent voters appear open to just about anyone former President Donald Trump is considering as his running mate, with one exception — former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley.

In a new Economist/YouGov survey, registered voters approved nine of 10 possible picks, with Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) at the top of the list, with 68% approving of him as Trump’s running mate.

He was followed by former Trump-era housing chief Ben Carson at 60%, Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR) at 57%, Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) at 56%, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy at 55%, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) at 53%, Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) at 45%, former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard at 42%, and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) at 30%.
