Any other polls corroborate this momentum shift?

"In the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist Poll of South Carolina conducted after Saturday's GOP debate, businessman Donald Trump, 28%, edges Texas Senator Ted Cruz, 23%, by only 5 points among likely Republican primary voters statewide including those who are undecided yet leaning toward a candidate or who voted by absentee ballot."

Trump (won) 32.5%

Rubio 22.5%

Cruz 22.3%

I never want to hear nother word out of NBC/WSJ/Marist ever again. They had the Trump-Cruz spread at 5%. It was 10%, and Rubio.

They are humiliated and next time they spout off, I am going to remind everyone how they lie.

If this poll is to believed, South Carolina's race may be too close to call. Dr. Lee M. Miringoff, director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion, explains:

Will South Carolina return to its traditional place in picking the Republican nominee? With the race tightening, it looks like South Carolina may not be any better than Iowa and New Hampshire in clarifying the race.

Although that may be true, the fact of the matter is that no Republican candidate who won two of the first three primary states has ever gone on to lose the nomination. So yes, South Carolina matters nonetheless.
