Well well, another victory for Ted in a state he didn’t expect to win.
Wait until he gets into the Southern Christian states.

Oh wait...
The House Polls seem to always have heavy sampling of seniors, which I think is the reason why Huffington Post (which includes every poll) usually leaves this poll out. Nevertheless, the high number of people surveyed, and its results in general, are a strong data point supporting all the other polls, except for NBC/WSJ’s second bulls*** poll.
The biggest problem that I saw with it was it was grossly overweighted toward old folks. 55% over 65, 2/3 over 56. They must have run the poll in senior citizens facilities.
Well, that is the best and most through poll I have seen yet. It seems pretty consistent all across the board for all groups. The undecided will not make much difference..... if they go vote
The polling sample was weighted heavily on voters age 62 and older. I wonder what that means.
I don’t like an opt-in methodology but this poll is in line with a host of other polls. I also didn’t care that they appear to have weighted only on geographic region, if I understand the methodology section correctly.
Some polls earlier in the week seemed to show Kasich moving up. Some had him leapfrogging to #2.
Bush is showing a bit more life in these.
Bush, Cruz and Rubio are battling for 2nd place.
The rumors of Trump’s demise seem grossly exaggerated — again.
If Bush can edge out Rubio he will likely stick around till Nevada. Bush did quite well on CNN last night and Rubio will be lambasted for his chickening out of Mark Levin’s “conservative conference” last night. Bad timing for Marco’s cowardice
Impossible. NBC/WSJ had Ted ahead in SC, therefore that’s the ONLY poll that is credible in the least.
It is Trump's to lose.
Interesting poll and analysis/charts. Thanks for sharing.
No one has ever accused SC of being brilliant :-)
Really amazing numbers.
The Libertarians is very telling of where support goes when their guy drops out.
Important note. SC is open primary, Trump WILL get some crossover too.
Matt Moore, Chairman of the SC Republican Party just said on CNN that Trump should get 35-40 of the vote tomorrow. The race is for second between Rubio and Cruz. We shall see.
The consistency across all demo groups and all parts of the state are truly amazing. (Too bad income and education levels were not included in this survey, though other surveys have shown the levels of support for the candidates was the same as the other demo groups.)
Open Primary!
Those who would be happy if either Sanders (socialism heavy) or Clinton (Socialism lite), can vote their choice for Republican nominee.
This is a devastating poll for Cruz. Older folks tend to vote in a higher demographic than others and Trump has 48% to Cruz’s 11% (Pee Dee coastal retirement area). Cruz at 17.52% is only at the margin of error with Rubio and Bush. This is the best poll to date with such a large sample.
