In the final day of a three-day tracking poll in South Carolina, momentum is favoring Donald Trump, who leads in the Republican contest with 36% of likely primary voters, up 3 points since Tuesday. Marco Rubio (19%) and Ted Cruz (18%) remain locked in a battle for second. Cruz has seen a 2 point drop since Tuesday while Rubio has stayed at 19%.
John Kasich and Jeb Bush were tied at 10%, and Ben Carson is in last with 6%.

Encouraging!
GO TRUMP!
He was excellent last night at the Town Hall
He’s plateaued!
He’ll drop out by Thanksgiving!
Moderators certainly getting good workouts cleaning up “Breaking News” this election season.
Add up the percentages for the candidates....the sum is 99%. Is 1% going to change the outcome? C'mon.
The biggest takeaway here is the 5% switch...Trump up 3% Cruz down 2%. Cruz lashing out at Trump and Rubio hasn't hurt Rubio and has helped Trump.
It does seem like a recipe for a potential Trump/Rubio ticket.
I’ve asked but no one willing to answer yet, what percentage of the vote would be considered a disappointment for Trump?
One thing forsure. There will be a lot of spin from all of the campaigns.
Any percentage that’s lower than somebody else’s.
One poll says his lead is large, another says it’s narrow.
The numbers are what they are, and we’ll know tomorrow evening. For now, there’s no point in obsessing about them.
If Trump gets 34%, and Cruz gets 19% the gope will say that they under performed while their boy marco gets 17% comes in third and will be declared the winner of the insider race.
It depends who is doing the spin.
I think the Trump camp would be pleased with 34% in a 6 person race.
Lol - #3.
That makes a lot of sense.....
Except we need to hunker down and figure out what dirty tricks Cruz is planning to use.
And whose votes he plans to steal.
This maniac has an obsessive desire to win....at any cost.
Murdock Polls are a Joke
Dream on...
Trump was very very good at the town hall discussion last night, i expect another jump up in the polls just by his performance.
Cannot wait to hear a State of the Union speech from him.
The talk here in SC this morning is about how sick and tired we are of the robo calls and junk mail. Local talk radio is about how you may have actually liked someone but now you don’t because you’ve been harassed by them. Funny stuff but it has been horrible.
We are so happy tomorrow will be the last day. We are a winner takes all state so second place doesn’t mean squat for delegates unless the winner drops out before the general election.
Trump is going to win SC.
Cruz, R, Goldman Sachs, surely you jest! Bwahahahahahahshhaha !
My understanding is that Trump does not do robo calls, only live calling. Also no junk mail either. Is that correct?
