Here’s who (Donald Trump) is leading in SC, and why

But Sanders fared better in income-inequality issues, which have been the cornerstone of his campaign: 46 percent of Oklahoma voters surveyed told pollsters they trusted Sanders most to crack down on Wall Street, to Clinton’s 33 percent.

“I don’t like to the race to bottom, which is what we’re doing right now – I really don’t – but I can’t blame the Democratic Party for trying to compete with the Republican Party”, Booker said.

Trump is the preferred candidate of 45 percent of likely Republican caucus-goers, up from 38 percent in the poll conducted in October. The one-point gap is well within the poll’s margin of error.

Trump may be a good fit for Nevada, but the poll result in that state may signal problems for the rest of the field in many other states.

If Iowa was a toss-up between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, then Nevada, home to another round of Democratic caucuses Saturday, could come down – quite literally – to the luck of the draw.

When asked who would do more to help the middle class, Sanders narrowly tops Clinton among all likely caucusgoers, 50 percent to 47 percent.

Days until Nevada Democratic caucuses: 2. A Pew Research Center poll in December 2007, before the SC primary in January 2008, showed Clinton with 43 percent support among black voters compared to Obama’s 44 percent. Clinton also does well when it comes to race relations, immigration, and women’s issues.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign had viewed Nevada as a chance to save face after losing New Hampshire, given her allies among organized labor and the Latino-heavy electorate.

Responses were also closer on who best represents Republican values: 35 percent said Trump, while 22 percent said Cruz and 20 percent said Rubio. Donald Trump holds a large lead on the GOP side, with Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz fighting for a distant second.

Sanders’ rise in Nevada is likely bolstered in part by his success in early contests, his recent focus on systemic racism and criminal justice reform and his enthusiastic support from younger white voters. “I don’t get it. I don’t think anyone expected this race to look like this”, one former Clinton aide said.
