“then Rubio has gained nine points in a week while Trump has lost a similar amount, an eighteen-point flip in the gap between the two while the rest of the field stayed relatively static.”
So, we’re expected to believe that Trump supporters jumped over and are now lining up behind Rubio. I find that highly improbable.
The Elites hate both Trump & Cruz. Screw their pet doggy Rubio.
This is the poll that put the number of “very conservative” members of their sample at 50%. Normally it’s 35%.
Funny what kinds of results you get when you jimmy the sample.
In other words, they undercounted Trump by about 15%.
I sure Rush ‘El Fatso’ has helped Rubio in the last two weeks, but not this much.
no they’re like queers dressed in feathers they know no shame
RE: Ok got it. Posting is not the same thing as advocating. My mistake.
Yep, and I’m a Cruz supporter. However, I don’t go about investing myself on whether or not he will or won’t win.
It is what it is and what will be, will be. As long as we don’t have Hillary or Sanders, I’m OK with that.
Time to forget about polls and wait for the people of SC to vote.
It’s not that hard to tell the good ones from the bad ones.
The bad ones tend to come out late with surprising numbers that don’t jive with the rest.
They also tend to have small samples and incomplete or no internal information about how the polling was conducted.
NH polling was quite accurate other than Trump outperforming his polling by about 3%. That’s after throwing out the obvious fake poll with Bush at 20% and no internals or even a name tied to who did the polling.
Polling is of course an inexact science, more useful for trends than hard numbers. And when people see 35, 28, 20 for example, they don’t look at the stated margin of error of say, 3%, and then say to themselves, “That could be 32, 31, 17 or something different.” They expect more than is being offered in terms of accuracy.
There is a reasonable chance that Rubio will beat Cruz in South Carolina. GOPe has thrown everything they have at this race...Club for Growth brought in Mike Lee..Trey Gowdy..Nikki Haley...they are leaving it all on the field in South Carolina because Trump has a 25-30 pt lead in Nevada.
So long as Trump wins, so long as he gets the delegates its on the next state, bay.
Early voting on the ground is heavily Trump and they cannot even place all the volunteers...its reported to be a mad house!
This is a cross over state. Whatever and whoever wins should be taken with a grain of salt. It is time for registered voters to be able to vote in states so the results are coming from actual Republicans instead of fraud.
On 01-31-16 this crazy ass “Opinion Savvy” poll had Trump, Cruz, and Rubio effectively tied. Just another push poll, worst than the NBC/WSJ poll.

Personally, I don’t believe any of the polls. Many voters change their minds frequently before casting their ballots, and there are all sorts of corrupting factors and agendas that come into play in creating and executing a poll.
The only “poll” that matters is the day of the election, in the voting booth. Many polls back in 2012, right up to Election Day, had Romney winning, and he ended up getting trounced.
That’s it. Switch your vote from Trump to Cruz to stop Rubio!
If true that only shows the ignorance of the voters.
Can someone tell me what would prevent election fraud?
The pattern: Inflate the polls a few days before a state’s primary to cover for any and all electronic vote-skimming; redistribute the votes as desired; then the mainstream media points to the election results as finite proof of their bogus pre-election skewed polls. Wag-the-Tail. Tail-the-Wag.
No hanging chads to count. No digital evidence to retrieve. Hello, President Rubio.
Trump 27%
Rubio 24%
Cruz 19%
Bush 11%
Carson 8%
Kasich 7%
Cruz and Rubio are tied.
Yep, the bluebloods can’t stand Trump and they hate Cruz.
I believe Carson is at 8 percent. He has visited SC many times during the year and there is a large African American conservative group that could find him acceptable. If it wasn’t so important to have Trump as President, I could get behind Carson easily.
