2016 GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump has opened up a commanding 3-to-1 lead over his closest rival in early voting South Carolina. In fact he’s outpolling his nearest three competitors in the Palmetto State … combined.
Just … wow.
According to a poll from Florida-based Gravis Marketing (.pdf here), Trump is supported by 34 percent of “First in the South” GOP primary voters. That’s more than the combined support of the next three candidates in the poll – retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson (10.9 percent), former Florida governor Jeb Bush (10.5 percent) and Wisconsin governor Scott Walker (10.3 percent).

I liked looking at the Obama support section.
78% of Pro-lifers view him negatively.
WTH are 22% of them thinking????
I don’t know how Ben Carson keeps polling so well. What’s he doing? He’s not getting much press but he’s plugging along pretty good.
Don’t worry. Lindsey Graham will save the day for the gope
DJ, what would that look like? How far down MIGHT Yeb be by Super Tues if these polls hold up?
I think it’s just because he’s not a politician.
They arent. They are ‘evolving’.
WOW!
He has an active position e FB following
Check out my new tagline. I think it captures the mood of the moment.;-)
Must be that Johnny Reb flag tattoo on his upper right bicep. :>}
They are willing to trade dead babies for free stuff. Simple as that.
When is Super Tuesday?
It’s in March, correct? (only seven months from now?).
Also, the Texas primary is on March 1st, I believe.
Assuming El Jebbe is still even in the race by then. It may very well be possible that he has even higher negatives within the party than the execrable Willard did. The difference is that Willard had second-tier opposition, and this time, El Jebbe has first-tier ones.
That leads to the next question: with El Jebbe out, who will the establishment land on to stop Trump/Cruz ? They may settle on Walker. I was big on Walker as a draft pick 4 years ago, but he’s fallen down my list of preferences. I also have to note that Dr. Carson’s consistent decent polling (perhaps as a non-politician, which seems de rigeur) might see him as a possible fallback or VP choice.
And Rand Paul with 1% ...
He’s already pledged his fortune, life and honor. With Anne Counter playing the part of Paul Revere; the common man (like my ancestors) are picking up their pitch forks and falling in line. Contrary to popular opinion not all colonist took part in the revolution.
