Is Trump on the Verge of his Biggest Victory Yet?
Three days to go until Saturday's Republican
primary in South Carolina, and all of the polling out there suggests
that Donald Trump is in clear command of the race. The latest poll via CNN:
Trump 38%, Ted Cruz 22%, Marco Rubio 14%, Jeb Bush 10%. And if Trump
pulls it off -- remember, the polling was right in New Hampshire, but
off in Iowa -- it would be his biggest victory yet.
For starters, South Carolina isn't New
Hampshire: 65% of Republican voters in the Palmetto State are
evangelical Christians, per the 2012 exit polls, versus the 25% we saw
in New Hampshire. Also, while only 55% of GOP voters in the Granite
State considered themselves to be Republicans (due to the state's heavy
presence of independent voters), it was 71% in South Carolina four years
ago.
