Haley at 39 would actually be a decent showing for her. It's a low bar for sure, but it could continue justify her staying in.

It could, given just how low expectations have gotten for her campaign, but a 60/40 loss in her home state basically guarantees that she isn't winning any actual primaries from here on out, with the possible exception of DC.

Absolutely. Although, she doesn't seem to care about that.

If Haley really gets 40% I think Trump has a problem, not from Haley in a nomination fight, but a problem still. Only problem is that won't happen. Haley won't get 40% in SC.

Not really a justification to stay in. At some point you have to win a contest to get the nomination. If not there, where to go afterwards? There might have been a slight chance if she won New Hampshire. But since this didn't happen, she's completely toast. Trump is going to run the table.

Not really a bad result for Haley if she gets 35-40% in the current climate.  It could get even better for her if more non-affiliated voters join the Republican primary.  I am still convinced Trump will be out of the picture within a couple of months (court-induced, both legal and financial) and, with polling numbers like these, Haley can then legitimately fight any attempts by the GOP to try and install a Trump-like surrogate.  We will see.
