A day away from the South Carolina Republican Primary and things are looking interesting. Donald Trump holds a 6 point lead, but Marco Rubio seems to be nipping at his heels, trailing 31-25%.
Donald Trump leads in support among most demographics, with some fluctuation among income levels. Rubio and Ted Cruz are well within striking distance, but it appears as though Donald Trump will win the South Carolina primary. He may not win by much, but the state awards 29 delegates to the statewide winner, while each Congressional district winner receives 3 votes per district. A Trump win by a significant margin statewide would probably mean he walks away with 44-50 delegates, leaving the rest of the pack 6 delegates at most

Yup. Rubio is a liar. As a Floridian, I know how much of a liar he is.
This poll is stupid too. Weights "very conservative" voters as 50 percent of the electorate. Trump always wins this grouping in all the polls, but not by a wide margin. Hence a 13 or 14 point lead with a normal sample gets reduced, and then Cruzbots get all horny.
I’d rather have Kasic than Bush or Rubio. Sad, I know, but Kasich is my governor and has done a fairly decent job these past 6 years. However, having said that - he is squishy on some issues which I don’t agree with. But, he isn’t a dishonest man.
Overtime Politics is a BS push poll. Establishment.
For a more accurate assessment of how the race might go tomorrow check out the below poll from Channel 7 News WSPA, out of Greenville.
Includes Greenville, Spartanville, Anderson and Pickens. This is supposed to be Cruz territory.
Trump 44
Rubio 22
Cruz 15
Carson 9
Kasich 7
Bush 4

BTW, even this poll has Trump still at 31 percent. Trump varies between 30-36 percent in all the polls, depending on the MOE. So, there's no actual drop here.
OT Politics is pretty bad. They had Trump up by 7 in Iowa but they did have him winning in NH, just can’t remember by how much. It’s good seeing Trump at 31 here although Rubio is concerning.
>>Damn is Cruz crashing that Much<<
Don’t believe that garbage. Cruz will be just fine.
Now that I look closer at the PDF this poll provides, it might not be the same poll I am thinking of. I guess you were ignorant about the 2 other polls, both of which had problems.
So this is a third poll. Looking at the data, this poll doesn’t weigh anyone based on ideology. No “very conservative,” moderate, whatever. Just on age and income, male and female.
If these people samples a larger majority of retards, it could account for Rubio’s moving up.
Either way, it is still a trash poll.
the fix is in thanks to SC governor...
I don’t know about the accuracy of this poll but it would not be a surprise that suburban women are breaking late for the cute cabana boy. That’s what happened in Iowa I believe. These late deciders are not deep into the issues voters and Rubio is the smoothest liar of the bunch.
we will never vote for this amnesty loving joke.
Floridian from SoFlo for 20 years. I’ve kept tabs...he belongs in Miami, not DC.
Its a paid push poll outfit the Gope hired .
Have you ever seen so much psychopd by the fat cat media in your life!
They are in a panic trying to create fake Rubio momentum .
Bingo! Only us Floridians know who that hack really is. He screwed us all and if he thinks he can win FL, he is sorely mistaken. NE Floridian here.
look at the guys posting
he is paid to post this poll firms crap
i
What sort of poll is this?
I doubt Rubio has passed Cruz
“He could actually lose SC, having lost 10% in the past week.”
Please post the links to polls that showed Trump with 41% of the votes in S.C. during the last week.
Oh, that’s right you can’t. Because there aren’t any.
Besides what the point of making BS claims like Trump could lose 24 hours before the voting booths close in S.C.?
I can only assume the Cruz dirty tricks department must be paying you Cruz-trolls by the post, no matter how pointless the posts.
oh spare us
no watching a Sat night debate or CNN
you cruz crazies never stop the big lies ever .
I hope Trump doesn’t pick Rubio for his VP. I have noticed lately that those two are playing nice to each other.
Fred? HAHAHAHA.
