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.

They need to just hand these out to anti-Trumpers:
“That’s it! Trump will implode after he _____________________.”
“Trump has peaked at _______%”
“Trump better watch out. __________is really surging now.”
GO TRUMP!!!
Are we having fun or what?!
Trump will win, followed by Cruz second(he will out perform is numbers) and Rubio third.
Kasich will stay in post SC, but I got the feeling this is Jeb’s last dance...
Yeah, just change the name and pictures. The lies can remain.
“Cruz better take Trump ads down and put up some Rubio ads.”
-—Actually, I saw where a few of Cruz’s AD’s were pulled by TV Stations for legal reasons - may not be related to Trump but still pulled
He had a porn star was in the AA anti-Rubio spot.
All those have been pulled.
All you have to do is tell it like it is.
Bwahahahaha!
“GO TRUMP!!!”
And take Planned Parenthood with you.
I think there have been 1,712 times now that Trump said something so outrageous that surely his supporters will be bound to come to their senses and support a more establishment politician, said the pundits.
Each time, the pundits are proven wrong.
I think Trump's gift is that he tells it like it is and for that reason, he has the solid support of many.
Take your pick.
There was a link in the comments section to a YouTube clip that is new to me. Trump is interviewed at ground zero by a German TV station on Sept. 13, 2001. I found the 4 minute interview very interesting.
