South Carolina Polls: Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump Far Ahead — Can They Be Caught?
Inquisitr / New York Daily News ^ | 02/11/2016 | Danny Cox

Posted on 02/11/2016 4:24:17 PM PST by DoughtyOne

Both of these pubications published the same article today, with the New York Daily News titling it "Trump, Clinton Leading Polls as Candidates Head to Nation's Next Primary in South Carolina".

This poll shows Trump leading by a larger margin than other polls I've seen today.  Thought folks should have access to this informtion also.

Trump 36.0% - Cruz 19.7% - Rubio 12.7% - Bush 10.0% - Carson 8.7%

Please read more at the above link, or this one: LINK the New York Daily News site.

It’s comforting to know The DT’s FBI file is in Hillary’s steadily quivering hands.

Plus she seems to catch every break.

Those coin tosses, then the delegate breakdown when she got creamed at the polls.

Good luck Sanders...

GOP establishment front-loaded the schedule with Jeb in mind.

What it didn’t foresee is that’s its ended up benefiting a very different front-runner: Trump.

Be careful what you wish for: you might not get it.

Poor Bern can’t get a break.

Although all those SuperDelegates committed to HIl can change sides.. An indictment might pop her bubble of support.. Oh the hughmanity of it all!

The NY Daily News article says they're using the RCP average, which is based on weeks-old polls. This isn't real "news."

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/trump-clinton-leading-polls-primary-s-article-1.2527247

The latest RealClearPolitics average of recent polls in the critical early-voting state show the bombastic billionaire with 36% support.

Trump looks for all the world like he’s about ready to run the table.

He may get the eight wins by March 1st, and the delegates in short order as well.

It will take some time to get the over 1200 needed, but he looks pretty good right now.

We’ll see.

The good news is Trump should be riding a decent boost from NH.

Welcome to FR!

Harold Stasssen looks pretty good about how.

But a Trump or a Cruz will do..

I don’t keep up on the RCP Average, and admit to having skimmed the Inquisitr article more closely. It may have had that information in there too.

Both articles having today’s date, and not seeing either posted, it looked like new information to me.

I will remind folks, I see the same article posted here upwards of five times from different resources concerning negative articles about Trump.

I doubt this will overload the system.

If Carson puts a stake in bush’s heart then both Cruz and trump should give him a lifetime appointment to something. They’ll owe him big time.

I have no problem with you making Trumpists overconfident. That hubris is what destroyed him in Iowa. Time for a repeat.

Interesting, the rumor today (maybe fact?) that Trump pulled his attack ads against Cruz yet Cruz is pounding away with his negative ads. THat could confirm that Trump has sufficient margin so he doesn’t need them, and that Cruz is pouring it on to try to narrow the gap.

Can’t think of any reason post-NH that the divergence that was evident in those last 3 polls won’t continue.

Cruz can do himself and the entire nation a giant favor by taking off the gloves Saturday night and go after Trump's alleged conservatism. Cruz must illustrate Trump's past with specifics. And DEMAND specifics from Trump on how Trump would prove his conservative bona fides going forward if elected. If Trump stumbles or hesitates, Cruz needs to be ruthless and point out the dangerous waters we could be headed towards if we elect someone who is not who he says he is. It is very reasonable for us to have concerns about Trump given his past.

I SAY THIS AS SOMEONE WHO CURRENTLY SUPPORTS TRUMP, but obviously has concerns. I think anyone who takes his word on some very important looming issues without probing questions is grossly naive. I see Cruz as the only one who can do it. If he doesn't, then he deserves to lose.

How did that hubris work out for your chump in New Hampshire?

Destroyed? Trump finished 2nd by less than five points in a state tailor made for Cruz, whereas Cruz finished a distant third, just ahead of Jeb and behind Kasich, more than 20 points behind, in a state tailor made for Trump. So...who was “destroyed”?

The crowds in SC for Trump are Yuuge. Most people I know that were undecided last week are breaking for Trump. One of my friends that was wavering between Rubio and Cruz, went to Trump’s rally in Clemson last night..she’s now supporting him. Rubio did himself in at the debate..ppl are still talking about his inexperience ..Cruz is coming across as self righteous. We shall see..problem is Columbia and Lowcountry is more moderate than rest of state.

There’s no early voting in SC per se:

“South Carolina does not have early voting. However, qualified voters may cast in-person absentee ballots.”
