Donald Trump is now leading Saturday's South Carolina Republican primary by 5 points — down from his 16-point lead in the state a month ago, according to results from a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll.
Trump gets support from 28 percent of likely Republican primary voters in the state, while Ted Cruz gets 23 percent. They're followed by Marco Rubio at 15 percent, Jeb Bush at 13 percent, and John Kasich and Ben Carson at 9 percent each.

In the January NBC/WSJ/Marist poll — conducted before this month's Iowa and New Hampshire contests — Trump held a 16-point over Cruz, 36 percent to 20 percent, with Rubio at 14 percent and Bush at 9 percent.
All other recent public polling in South Carolina has shown Trump with a strong double-digit lead in the state.
In South Carolina's Democratic primary — which will be held on Feb. 27 — Hillary Clinton leads Bernie Sanders among likely voters by 28 points, 60 percent to 32 percent. That's down slightly from Clinton's 64 percent to 27 percent advantage last month.

Go Trump!!!!!!!!!!!!
no, really....please... just go....
Its that darn common core math again, its not meant for us slack jawed yocals.
Not only that, but these evil entities have enlisted the Marist polling organization into their lying scheme! /s
Hmmmmm .... WHO should I believe
'Course .. we here in FR NEVER pay attention to alternative news sources ....
Why ... our entire history (here) is dependent on the lamestream formulating our thoughts ....
Wow, that’s hilarious! Did you graduate from the Ted Cruz School of Comedy?
At this rate, if Cruz does not win SC by at least 10 points, it will be a complete failure on his part.
But yesterday it had Trump behind Cruz. What unbelievable polling from them.
Oh yes, i have a whole weekend of NASCAR to watch, turning off the phone and the tablet.
Its a shame regular life and events got shoved out, nobody is posting about Dale winning last night. I bet he votes for Trump.
Why yes. If I’d graduated from the Trump School of Comedy I would have had to add several F-bombs and mockery of disabled people.
Reality Check Please!
TRUMP EXTENDS HIS LEAD IN SOUTH CAROLINA; RUBIO PASSES CRUZ IN FIGHT FOR SECOND
NBC/WSJ is trying to have it all ways. They now have a poll where Trump loses by a little and another where he wins by a little. Of course, if Trump wins by a lot, NBC/WSJ will just claim a lot of voters changed their mind at the last minute. It is all agitprop.
If Trump doesn’t like the polling, he should just buy a better one.
After the butt kicking he put on Cruz in the debate, I'm not surprised. Some debate champion Cruz turned out to be.
