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.

Yes. Trump has brought mutually assured destruction to his followers and to the rest of the top republican candidates. All need the support of the others and all are likely to remain split.
They were pretty reliable for the NH results, except for under-polling Trump's support by a few points.
I find it sad that “Religious Conservatives” who are all so worried that the candidate must be pure to their views routinely violate their own religious tenants when ever primary election season rolls around.
So, if they underestimate Cruz by 8 points in this poll, Trump still wins by 9%.
I don't understand how folks think it would be a negative if Trump expects the government to get stuff done. And one of the things about "military precision" is that you don't waste inordinate amounts of time waiting for someone to show up.
Perhaps its not the “religious conservatives” violating their tenets, but the choice of candidates?
Or this one is.
Trump is 20 points ahead in this poll. Without negatives, he’ll be 40 points ahead. He’s winning with evangelicals by 10 points.
At what point does caucus =/= primary actually will start to sink in?
The Cruzies are doing a really bad job of selling their damaged goods to South Carolina.
Cruz can always crawl back to the job he is being paid for, the Texas Senate seat. Get back to the work you are taking a check from the taxpayers for Cruz.
If Trump wins, that's just about it.
But if Cruz is able to tap into the same sentiments as Iowa and win, then we have a race--maybe all the way to Cleveland...
That was before the cheating and vicious rumors. Voters won’t forget that.
I think one of the problems with this election is that everyone is trying to analyze it along and old, worn-out spectrum that just doesn't apply. It is citizens against the entrenched powers of Washington DC (both sides) with the goal of clearing out the snake pit.
I discounted Opinion Savvy during Iowa and I was wrong. They are an Atlanta based pollster so one would think that they would be accurate in the South. I am learning to not get too high or too low, but this makes for a good Friday!
They have tried everything, raise his numbers, lower his numbers... and ignore the numbers.... everybody HATES him... LOL
NOT GOING TO WORK!
GOOOOOO TRUMP! Make America GREAT again!
Best babble I’ve seen today!!!

“Or this one is.”
I’d doubt it.
You cant just ignore NH as just being a bunch of supposed liberals, and this poll, while still waving around Iowa as proof that everyone is really going to support Cruz, but are just artfully hiding it....until the “right moment”. Or something.
So far so good. :)
I think we are all a part of Trump’s counter revolution!
