(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.

Yep, the delusion is strong with the Trumpanistas. I’m hoping that as time goes on the scales will fall off their eyes and they will finally see the folly of voting for a man with a conservative record of ZERO for the highest office in the land.
