Coming hot off his win in New Hampshire -and with a significant amount of his time devoted to South Carolina- it’s little surprise that Trump is 16-17 points ahead. It appears that the only demographics that Trump isn’t currently winning are 18-29 year-old voters and self-described “very liberal†voters, who prefer Rubio and Kasich, respectively. Evangelists prefer Trump to Cruz by a margin of 10 points – a significant change from Iowa, where Cruz led with evangelical voters by four points.
When respondents were asked of their second choice for the nomination, Rubio and Cruz command the first and second spots (within 2 points), with others trailing closely.
The poll was conducted for the Augusta Chronicle, Morris News Service, and Fox 5 Atlanta.

So I guess Bill Krystol’s super secret mysterious poll from the magic land of fairy gumdrops and gingersnaps.....was a bit off?
Excellent.
“WOW”
SC can’t come soon enough. I think I heard somebody from Kasich calling it a must win.
Wow! That is major hit to Cruz's hopes.
that’s an ass kicking
Trump is picking up steam. You can see it at his rallies.
Unlike Iowa, South Carolina democrats are not going to be able to send their legion of stealth “independent” crossover shock troops to vote for Kasich and Rubio because Bernie the Red needs them against HRC
“Independent very liberal voters” were polled on GOP candidates - The OWS crowd - Red Bernie’s proletariat
They were a very rowdy loud group last night in Louisiana and they loved him....12,000 with almost 4000 outside trying to get in!!!
GO.TRUMP.GO!!!
Great news! And probably mirrors Trumps internal data that drove his campaign to dial back the attacks on Cruz, which probably aren’t needed and might alienate a few voters.
Now that Cruz is making the headlines again for another error in judgement (hiring a former softcore porn actress for his ads) Trump can probably take some time for R&R. Maybe have a little chat with Dr. Carson...
Trump can’t get over 1/3 and his negatives are huge. That’s why he’s very nervous and continues to attack conservatives.
Kaisch announced he will not compete in SC and is waiting for MI. I suspect Kaisch knows he is not viable and is merely angling to pick off enough delegate so that he can play kingmaker at a brokered convention.
The GOP needs a clear winner. The Establishment angling for a brokered convention is politically suicidal.
Rubio 15%, Bush 11%
They sure do like their cheap labor importers down there in SC.
Look at their Senators and Congressman if you doubt me.
GO TRUMP!
THis is Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuge. Why?
Because in SC the biggest vote getter, gets 29 delegates.
THEN 3 delegates for the winner of each of the 7 polling districts.
If Trump is this far ahead, I really don’t see anyone catching up to him. So, he could win SC in a landslide, and win every single District.
The person taking second or third place who have some bragging rights, but it would be irrelevant.
In summary, he could sweep 50 votes.
Trump’s negatives will come down. He is able to connect with people in a way that Cruz cannot.
