Poll of Polls: Trump has big lead in SC, nationwide

It’s also Trump’s lowest support in a national poll since late November.

However, state surveys of sc, which hosts its Republican primary on Saturday, have shown little erosion of Trump’s commanding lead in the days since the debate. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio took the third place with 15 percent, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is at the fourth spot at 11 percent, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich is at 9 percent.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who has lead the national polls since launching his campaign last summer, has fallen behind his chief GOP rival Texas Sen.

Only last month, the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll showed Trump holding a 13-point lead over Cruz, 33 percent to 20 percent.

But polls regarding the South Carolina GOP primary, which takes place Saturday, give Trump a huge lead. As a result, the poll overall shows 43 percent say the Senate should vote this year on a replacement, while 42 percent prefer to leave the position vacant and vote next year on a replacement nominated by the new president.

The margin of error for the Republican voters was plus or minus 5 percentage points. (None of the remaining candidates beat Trump head-to-head.) For weeks, Trump has pointed to his popular poll numbers as a reason why he should get the nomination.

A Monmouth University survey of likely Republican voters released Wednesday found that 35 percent planned to back Trump.

Clinton’s lead rests heavily on the state’s black voters and women.

“You have been threatening frivolous lawsuits for your entire adult life”, Cruz said Wednesday, addressing Trump, according to Fox News. In the Quinnipiac poll, Trump has 39 percent, ahead of Rubio who has 19 percent and Cruz at 18 percent.

“Senator Bernie Sanders and Secretary Hillary Clinton are neck and neck”.

But the media narrative is that Trump isn’t just undamaged by that performance in SC, he’s benefited from it. And even the media repeating that narrative admit they can’t explain or justify it. Among the 602 Republicans surveyed, the margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points, while among the 563 Democrats polled the margin of error is plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.

On the Democratic side, Clinton continues to trounce Vermont Sen.
