A close review of the poll internals, shows some remarkable and consistent insights when contrast against ground reports, alternate polling and field data. What many political junkies might find remarkable is the dominance of the Trump coalition.
After reviewing the poll data, the current decisions of the Trump campaign’s approach in South Carolina make VERY good sense.
When you review the poll data take note of what the pollster calls Horse Race #1, and Horse Race #2, the first preference and second preference of the SC electorate.
Only Donald Trump extends well beyond 50% when both first and second choices are combined. That’s an important factor.

the real message is trump + Cruz = 55%
All the others have become pretenders
Wear your rain coat and hat there is brain splatter all over the walls. don’t get dirty.
Go Trump!
Latest news is that Trump has to select Kasich as VP in order the win the general election.
Was Kasich the son of a mailman?
I don’t know that’s true but the idea is not without merit. Trump has to win in order for anything to happen, and if Kasich could bring Ohio, that’s Yuge. Sure Kasich is a softie but he’d have a damned tough boss, and he has a good track record in Ohio plus a good resume in and out of government. I don’t like the notion that he’d be set-up for the Presidency but that is the exception rather than the rule anyway.
Loveable Lindsey is going to lower the boom on his Palmettoites.
We adoringly call him Miss Lindsey!
Well i don’t think he is qualified to be VP, he is just a static clinger for votes from Cruz, Jeb and Roboto.
So i suppose the master computer says Trump has to bring in Kasich like a super magnet, just to get the needed ekectoral votes.
I really he does not pick Kasich. Can’t stand the guy and he is establishment to the core.
Trump won’t blab strategy, and i won’t either.
But without a doubt he is very smart, and finds even smarter people to advize him.
Watching Kasich and Jeb! in this process makes me wonder how did these two get elected so many times in the first place?
Kasich as VP?
Not my favorite, but I am for whatever pairing produces the most conservative Presidential candidate with the highest chance to win.
They got elected with establishment support.
Hewitt just parrots Rove. Rove is always yammering about how Trump has a ceiling, so he can’t possibly win the nomination. He goes on to say that if Trump could get past 35 percent, he would have already done so. But, then Rove doesn’t explain why none of the others don’t seem to get beyond their much lower numbers, and if they were able to go beyond their low numbers they would have by now.
I always heard people saying that once the field gets smaller, Trump will surely lose, because all the others are the “anti-Trump” vote, and the “anti-Trump vote” would be helped by the narrowing of the field. Well, the field has narrowed rather significantly, Christie, Fiorina, Paul, Huckabee, Santorum, but Trump is holding his lead in almost all the state polls, and in all the national polls. The departure of so many “anti-Trump” candidates doesn’t seem to have helped anyone move up to a position to overtake Trump.
