(CNN)Though Donald Trump continues to lead heading in to South Carolina's primary Saturday, a new poll suggests his support could be fading in the campaign's final days.
According to the NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist survey released Friday, the billionaire businessman leads the Republican race in the Palmetto State with 28% support. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is in second at 23%.
Trump's lead is narrower than other polls of South Carolina Republicans have shown. A CNN poll of polls from Thursday had the average Trump lead over Cruz in recent polls at 16 percentage points, and a Fox News poll conducted on the same days as the NBC/WSJ/Marist poll found Trump up 13 percentage points over Cruz.
In Friday's poll, Rubio trails in third with 15%, just ahead of Jeb Bush at 13%. John Kasich and Bern Carson are tied with 9%...

I won’t think it’s true unless I see it ten times today. And I won’t cheat and turn on Fox. It would be true in a full five minutes.
You seriously believe this trash poll and Unicorns?
poll is from same outlier day, with same weightage from same pollster. NBC/WSJ/Marist 2/15 - 2/17
ARG 2/17 - 2/18 401 LV 5.0 34 13 22 9 14 4 Trump +12
Emerson 2/16 - 2/18 418 LV 4.7 36 18 19 10 10 6 Trump +17
These are latest
“Cruz only seems to magically do better in WSJ cheap labor express polls. Wonder why that is?”
It should be an interesting primary tomorrow here in SC. I hope the Cruz ground game is in good shape...
Go Cruz!
Its time for Uncle Ben to spread the word that Teddy is dropping out.
The Donald is fading fast.
Well if the election was next week you may have hope.....but it is tomorrow and as long as he wins I am good. Nevada a winner takes all is all Trump. Poor Cruz......pity. :-)
Let’s face it, the Donald is fading fast. If Cruz is within 5-7pts, Cruz takes South Carolina.
You heard it here first folks!
Ted Cruz 2016!!!
Cruz hitting back at Trump the other day may be paying off.
Praying for a Cruz win Saturday.
Based on that poll trend if Cruz does not win SC by at least 10 points it will considered an absolute failure (like NH).
The headline sounds like a horse race announcement as the horses (asses in some cases) gallop around the track. One of them will eventually go well ahead and there doesn’t appear to be any “photo finish” coming. So which horse (es ass) did you bet one?
You are dreaming! Just hope when Trump wins, you Cruzers aren’t out jumping out of windows or something like that.
What is a “poll of polls?” Um, that’s an average. So if you throw in a bogus outlier (WSJ) gee, it brings down the average.
Straw, meet grasp.
thanks for the link. Who knew?!
Sorry, what you’ll see tomorrow in South Carolina is an enhanced vote for Trump. It could be called, “The Vote Against the Pope.”
CNN reported Carson was suspending his campaign? CNN reported Carson was taking a leave of absence?
Trump sure knows how to pick his friends doesn’t he?
Man, you really are a dreamer. Like an episode of ‘Amazing Stories.’
