This is not the NBC News/Wall Street Journal national poll from a few days ago.

No, it's the NBC/Marist/WSJ journal South Carolina poll, that's been posted 6 billion times and has been contradicted by 3 or 4 other polls-- all polled around the same time-- with Trump keeping his usual lead.

So the only valid poll to the Trumpets is one showing Don triumphant?

- Google for “NBC/WSJ poll”
- F5 page every five minutes
- Submit new source for same poll as needed
- Repeat until election day

NBC/WSJ Garbage Outlier.

Lol that you had to put a spam disclaimer on this post. It IS the same poll posted by CW, earlier today, isn’t it??

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3399085/posts?page=80#80

Why don’t you post it a few more times - to tie it’s posting with the other nBS poll?

The Cruz-Sheep just keep pushing this thing don't they? It's been posted probably 10 different times today and who knows how many yesterday.

So pathetic.

another poll also has Trump dropping fast

http://opinionsavvy.com/2016/02/19/rubio-surges-in-south-carolina-ahead-of-saturdays-primary/

Trump 27%
Rubio 24%
Cruz 19%
Bush 11%

We are starting to get multiple indications that Trump hurt himself badly with his “bush lied people died” comments along with his support for all the good things planned parenthood does besides abortions.

I think there is a chance Rubio wins SC or comes close enough to steal all the news coverage coming out of it. Then Bush will probably drop out, at which point Rubio will pick up most of Bush’s support and take the lead.

With the record turnout in absentee/early voting, and predicted for tomorrow, it will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

One polling source out of many shows Trump and Cruz this close.

All others indicate a wide spread.

Thus this poll has much less credibility.

All odds are still greatly in favor of Trump.

Live with it.

Sush...let the children get all hyped up. If this poll is wrong, and the other 15 SC polls are right, tomorrows results are going to be massive kick in the teeth for Cruz supporters after all this hype.

The thing I find funny is that the outlier polls show Cruz SURGING..... back to second place where he was 2 weeks ago. LOL

No the 15 other polls that show Trump up are what what they are talking about. It is Team Cruz that is crowing all day today about a single poll...that still shows them losing.

So the only valid poll

... Is apparently, for the obnoxious Cruzbots, a poll with no released internal data that contradicts all other polls showing Trump Triumphant.
