COLUMBIA - Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump remains the top choice for S.C. GOP primary voters and has a wider lead over Ben Carson than recent polls have shown, a new poll found.

According to the Benchmark Research poll, Trump leads the state's GOP presidential primary with 25.5 percent support. Carson trails at 17.5 percent.

A poll earlier this month showed Trump with a 4-percentage point lead over Carson. Another poll taken during the same period showed Carson ahead by 1 percentage point.

The results put U.S. Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Marco Rubio of Florida closer to Carson, picking up 14 percent and 13.7 percent support, respectively.

Lexington political consultant Walter Whetsell, whose polling outfit conducted the survey, said the poll shows Trump appears to be holding his lead after last Tuesday's GOP presidential debate.

Lindsey's dance card is empty...


After the events in Paris on 11/13, I will be adding
this to my posts for the next week. I'm certain our
turn is coming again soon. We stand united against
Islamic extremists.

An honorable mention also goes out to Lassana Bathily , a Muslim immigrant from Mali.
Mr. Bathily sheltered customers at the Jewish Deli and helped police by providing info
on the terrorists, and providing the location of survivors in the deli.

You are such a sheeple. Trump should have a good on 2nd Amendment and Cruz should have a yellow on immigration. If you go back a year ago - he was for taking in Syrian refugees - now he isn’t. And, don’t give us that crapola about Trump flip flopping on anything when Cruz has done th4e very same thing on a number of issues. I don’t pay attention to this chart to make my decision on a candidate. I’m a free thinker.

Sheeple? Really?

Guess you probably wouldn’t be interested in Cruz’s Heritage Action scorecard? - http://www.heritageactionscorecard.com/members/member/C001098

BYW, it’s 100%.

I know Trump said several years ago he was Obama’s biggest fan? Has Trump really flip flopped on that? If not, when do you think he’ll have another epiphany?

Hope I haven’t confused you by providing a little factual information. /sarc

Please provide a source. I find in most cases you cruzers take things out of context and flat out lie. For example that table you keep posting. Trump supporters don't have to lie about Cruz, his votes for bills that we "have to pass to find out what is in them" speaks for itself. For example TPA and the corker bill.
