Donald Trump has scored his highest numbers in a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday that found him with a 2-1 lead among Republican voters nationwide, with 39 percent.
He's followed by Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida with 19 percent and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas with 18 percent, according to a Quinnipiac University National poll released today. Ohio Gov. John Kasich has 6 percent with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Dr. Ben Carson at 4 percent each. Nine percent are undecided.
This compares to the results of a Feb. 5 survey by the independent Quinnipiac University, showing Trump with 31 percent, Cruz with 22 percent and Rubio with 19 percent.

President Barack Obama harshly criticized the entire slate of Republican presidential candidates during a press conference Tuesday afternoon.
I think foreign observers are troubled by some of the rhetoric that has been taking place in these Republican primaries and Republican debates, Obama said when asked what foreign leaders thought of Donald Trump.

If Jeb! won NH by Trump’s margin and was polling this far ahead in SC, the calls to coalesce would have already begun
Agreed. Trump will edge closer to the high 50’s as candidates drop out.
Donald Trump is the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party.
Ed Rollins, looking like he got a day pass from the funeral home, was doing an interview with the fetching Martha this morning. Ignored her comments about Trumps polls being good after the debate and sat there whining that things might, could, maybe change 48 hours before the election because nobody can say the things Trump said.
I joined the Trump campaign here in Mississippi last night. The director is in contact with other camps, as of course they work on different races together. According to her Cruz will not be putting any signage out for the March 8th primary. This is the biggest Republican county in North MS

Not sure what you are saying here. Can you clarify?
That they (Cruz) are hesitant to put any money out until after Super Tuesday results. By that time Trump with have signs up and lists of people called
Please, Please, remember South Carolina is an “OPEN PRIMARY”.
It’s like the general election in that Democrats can vote and choose the Republican Nominee. Open primaries are susceptible to manipulation, as are polls.
The winner of the South Carolina primary will not be the most conservative of the nominees, but the one who the Democrats can demonize in the general election.
At this time Democrats have nothing to lose. They can vote for the Republican candidate whom they consider the weakest. This will be the Republican candidate who they view as the most open to criticism, and susceptible to their tried and true line of attack.
The Democrats have no fear, because both Clinton and Sanders are socialists, and both appeal to a large segment of our population that thinks everything is free, money grows on trees, and anyone with a lot of money is evil incarnate.
Excellent to hear.
If Cruz taps out at 20% as he is appearing to do, and Trump runs the table in March we may have the nominee sooner than we think.
Go Trump GO!!!
Low class Obummer stating “Trump would never be President”. Is he stealing his lines off Bush these days? Has Obummer got an extra pillow put aside?
Well “foreign observers” have been rolling on the floor laughing at Obummer’s Presidency...it is well past time for foreign observers to be “troubled”.
Nice! ROFL! The short bus plane!
It will just make the Donald all the more popular.
But was not NH also an open poll?
Does that please Hillary?
If that occurs it would put Trump near 60%.
I agree. Trump will blow through SC Sat and NV on Tues and then his numbers will continue to rise.
