Coming hot off his win in New Hampshire -and with a significant amount of his time devoted to South Carolina- itâs little surprise that Trump is 16-17 points ahead. It appears that the only demographics that Trump isnât currently winning are 18-29 year-old voters and self-described âvery liberalâ voters, who prefer Rubio and Kasich, respectively. Evangelists prefer Trump to Cruz by a margin of 10 points â a significant change from Iowa, where Cruz led with evangelical voters by four points.
When respondents were asked of their second choice for the nomination, Rubio and Cruz command the first and second spots (within 2 points), with others trailing closely.
The poll was conducted for the Augusta Chronicle, Morris News Service, and Fox 5 Atlanta.

I might agree with you if I thought for one second that Trump would understand half the words in your post. I think you’re maybe projecting your own intelligence onto an unworthy vessel.
So if Trump wins the statewide vote he wins automatically wins 29 of the 50 S.C. delegates. The rest are apportioned on the vote in each Congressional district. But if you do well in the state wide vote, you probably pick up most of the Congressional district as well.
In other words if Trump gets the 29 delegates Plus 35% of the 21 Congressional district delegates he’ll walk away with at least 36 of the 50 delegates.
I suppose that Cruz knows:
“be sure your sin will find you out.” Num. 32:23
and
“God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” Gal. 6:7
I figure that the more he lies, the lower his percentages will go.
Remember that body language lady who used to be on O’Reilly? It would be interesting to see how someone like her would read this.
Good analogy.
“... with two people who are two of the most disliked and mistrusted in America.”
What a pantload!

So you’re bragging about that extra 2% that put him over 1/3? It’s meaningless in the big picture. BTW 25% is less than 1/3.
Trump is not going to gain any ground with the 2/3 who don’t support him by bashing all the other Republicans and acting like a New York Democrat.
He needs 1,237, right?
“Ted can honestly say HE is not doing it but knows full well it is being done on his behalf.”
Ted Cruz, the long-lost younger brother of Sgt.Shultz of Stalag 13! “I know nothing!”
Trump is not going to gain any ground with the 2/3 who donât support him by bashing all the other Republicans and acting like a New York Democrat.
And Cruz is going to gain by bashing Trump non stop?
LOL! Did he finally open his eyes? I actually love Carson but not as President.
“Lou has been doing such a great job of breaking down the Trump demos/force, on his show.”
Just love Lou Dobbs ( and Stuart Varney too for that matte). I just wonder how they are getting away with their commentaries on FBN, because over at FNC it’s Anybody but Trump!
many times easier to accurately poll primaries than a caucus
Trump got 25% in Iowa, 35% in liberal NH, and is now polling at 36% in SC. For grownups who understand proportions, that is 1/3 or less in each of the early contests.
Your superman can only get one third of the votes and he doesn’t know how to do any better because his PT Barmum act is starting to wear thin.
If you are older than 4 years old you should know that Romney won many primaries with 30%-40% of the vote. 51% is not necessary to win the nom.
âSo I guess Bill Krystol’s super secret mysterious poll from the magic land of fairy gumdrops and gingersnaps.....was a bit off.”
He doesn’t have fairy gumdrops, it’s a magic schlong, but it’s “turned on him!”
However, I do get the sense that Senator Cruz often comes across as condescending or patronizing - and in that regard the comparison to “Eddy Haskell,” while comical, is rather accurate, in my opinion.
Now, perhaps I am too judgmental in this regard, but my gut sense is to avoid conferring the presidency on this man.
Yeah, I get that vibe too. There is an abrasive edge to Cruz’s lying that the best liars like Obama, BJ Clinton & Rubio do not have.
“Trump got 25% in Iowa, 35% in liberal NH, and is now polling at 36% in SC. For grownups who understand proportions, that is 1/3 or less in each of the early contests.”
33.3333% is 1/3. Trump is exceeding 33% in two polls and one actual vote in NH. Why is math so hard for you.
