Wait a minute. Just a few articles ago you were hyping Cruz closing the gap.
So who is in 2nd place, Cruz or Rubio?
Rubio will beat Cruz
Trump’ support is wide and solid. He leads in all seven of the state’s congressional districts, by margins that range from 4 to 26 points. Trump also holds a commanding lead with both sexes. Men favor him 36% to 18% over Rubio, his closest challenger. Among women, his advantage is 35% to 20%, again ahead of Rubio. Trump even gets the nod from Evangelicals, who prefer him over Ted Cruz, 37% to 23%.
That last from evangelicals has to be a bitter pill for Team Cruz to swallow.
The author has doubts.
Donald Trump 28%
Ted Cruz 19%
Marco Rubio 15%
Jeb Bush 10%
John Kasich 9% Ben Carson 6%
Undecided 13%

That’s why Cruz decided to leave SC to go to the Scalia memorial. To set himself up for Super Tuesday.
No way he is that close. GOPe is trying desperately to stop the Cruz/Trump momentum.
Rubio is a racist.
Actually, no, we haven't. This author is the first person this week to use this faggy term. Okay, not the worst use of the suffix "omentum," but still faggy.
There’s going to be some really embarrassed pollsters on Saturday night. They’re just all over the place.
These “polls” are ridiculous.
The entire polling industry has been corrupted beyond repair.
If Marco is “surging”, it is to hide some shady vote switching by the Haley administration with the electronic machines.
Mr. Roboto has done nothing of note lately to account for a surge.
Has there been any polls lately asking people if they still like George Bush? Personally, I can’t stand the 2nd dumbest person in the Bush family.
Seriously, if W is so popular in SC why is Jeb sucking hind tit?
“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.
Time to forget about polls and wait for the people of SC to vote.
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!
