Trump still leads in S.C. but Kasich jumps into second, new polls shows Trump holds his consistent 35 percent range in the survey by American Research Group, while Kasich - who came in second in New Hampshire - is in second in South Carolina with a 15 percent following.

That one is a bit creepy there, Jedi. Sorry.

pq/sqrt(n) = 0.5*0.5/20 = 0.0125
Two standard deviations (95%) would be +/- 0.025

The points of dispute would be:
(1) is the sample random?
(2) has the poll accurately gauged a likely voter?

[Stentor]

Not a "push poll." A "Bush poll" - a poll taken by the Bush campaign.

So, not only is Cruz the face of God, but,now he’s the voice of Americans too? Who knew?

Now that the Golden boy Rubio is damaged goods and Jeb is dead and is too stupid to know it, TPTB roll out the new updated 2016 Bob Dole model. John- every guy - Kasich.
The GOP is really the JV team of the Demoncrap party!!!

Jeb never said it was his Poll on Fox and Friends

Nor did he mention HIS Eminent Domain problem in Naples Florida where he stole Land

Trump needs to immediately stop feuding with Senator Cruz. It is all very counter-productive. Cruz’s presidential aspirations just went to the grave with Justice Scalia.

Before Scalia died there was a good chance that Cruz would prevail in an eligibility lawsuit if it went before the Supreme Court. Now the Supreme Court will be deadlocked and a liberal appeals courts decision will stand. If the Republicans let an Obama get away with a “recess appointment” until it expires at the end of the year... the Supreme Court will do the dirty work.

Trump is not afraid of anyone. He wants to set the record straight on the Canadian’s lies.

Here is a link to article with four polls- HINT, they are all over the place. LINK

[Nifster]

ummm. not necessarily. Plus that is as creepy as all of the Obsma photos of the same ilk

Even worse:....

Sample Size: 400 completed telephone interviews among a random sample of likely Republican primary voters living in South Carolina (287 self-reported Republicans and 113 self-reported independents and Democrats.

Wait! I just saw a post where senor el Jebbo's poll had Cruz and Trump tied! Now you're saying Cruz is fourth?

Once upon a time polling organizations had ethics and applied scientific principles. Now they are bought by candidates with an eye toward either invigorating or discouraging potential voters, so each time you see a poll, either favorable or unfavorable, you need to take it with a huge grain of salt.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Both surveys were conducted Feb. 12-13. The calls involved phone contacts with 400 expected Republican primary voters, and 400 expected Democrat primary voters.

How can ANYONE go for this guy, Kasich. I can’t imagine. He’s better than what the dems have to offer, but I can’t imagine a Kasich for 4 years or 8.

[svcw]

Must be satire.

[House Atreides]

Unless my ears were clogged up, it sounded like Rush said “Push Poll” (Push Bush)?.
****************************************************************************
Rush said “Bush internal poll” — nothing more.

[dfwgator]

Under the word “Milquetoast” in the dictionary is Kasich’s picture.

[TexasCajun]

Kasich should be running as a Democrat, against Hillary & Bernie.

Kasich won't get 3% in S.C.

[G Larry]

Nonsense!

Trump 26%
Cruz 24%

Statistical tie
