Donald Trump still is leading the S.C. Republican presidential race after the weekend’s explosive GOP debate in Greenville.
But the race for second place in Saturday’s primary appears to be narrowing.
Behind Trump, who has 35 percent support in the poll, U.S. Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida and Ted Cruz of Texas are tied for second place — at 18 percent each, according to a Public Policy Polling survey released exclusively Monday to The State.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich is in forth at 10 percent support, followed by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, tied with 7 percent support each.
Public Policy interviewed 897 likely GOP primary voters Sunday and Monday – the first look at how after Saturday night’s Republican presidential debate affected the race. The poll has a margin of error of 3.3 percentage points.
The GOP poll suggests Trump’s debate performance – in which he criticized former President George W. Bush for the 9/11 attacks – may not be hurting the frontrunner in a state that has deep ties to the Bush family.
The poll also suggests Rubio could be closing the gap on Cruz, who has finished second to Trump in seven out of the eight S.C. polls taken in 2016.

Good advice. But I fear Trump may be right and Cruz is unstable. Possibly infected with TDS.
Huh just googled TDS and its a real disease
Testicular dysgenesis syndrome
WOOHOO!!! GO.TRUMP.GO!!!
I don’t see how Kasich would exceed 4 percent in SC; but win OH, probably.
Trump needs to drop out. He is unstable.
LOL, this might be accurate.
Don’t be so sure of that. I live in Ohio and so far, it seems to be Trump country. Kasich hasn’t been a bad governor, but, I’m not sure I want him as a president. He’s really good on some issues, but, dang squishy on immigration.
If Saturday’s results turn out like this the pressure on Jeb! to get out will be enormous.
Testicular dysgenesis syndrome
Geez! So DTS is a double whammy disease/syndrome~
I think Trump wins Ohio!!!
I had to look that one up.
Yes, GO TRUMP!
Yes, this is exactly what we accuse anti-Trump people of having. A symptom of Testicular Dysgenesis is derangement towards Donald Trump.
Makes sense though. The only people who hate Trump must have something wrong with their balls.
| Hey Trumpkins, did you hear about the hit comedy routine that's come to New York? What do you think? Did you smile, chuckle, laugh? Free Republic is great. It allows me to exercise my 1st Amendment Rights! But I'm afraid the Cruzbots will be after my scalp on this one. May the best man win! |
If he were unstable he would topple; no need for him to drop out.
But I wouldn’t hold my breath. Stability is in the eye of the beholder.
Yup! They don’t have any!
Cruz has been somewhat derailed since Glen Beck administered the oath of office to him. But, Beck has been a train wreck himself, completely unhinged during this campaign. And I used to really like GB. Has he been hitting the bottle again or nose Candy?
