The South Carolina GOP primary is Saturday and a new Monmouth University Poll out today says Donald Trump is way out front with almost every voter group. “Among voters likely to participate in South Carolina’s GOP primary on Saturday, 35% currently support Trump, 19% support Ted Cruz, and 17% support Marco Rubio. John Kasich registers 9%, Jeb Bush has 8%, and Ben Carson has 7%,” the poll said in a news release.
“Trump is the clear favorite of voters who have not been to college (53%), but also garners the support of about 3-in-10 voters with a college education. He leads among both men (36%) and women (34%); among voters under 50 years old (34%) and those age 50 or older (35%); among voters in veterans’ households (38%) as well as non-veterans (32%); and among evangelical Christians (33%) and non-evangelicals (37%) alike. Cruz (31%) barely nips Trump (27%) among very conservative voters, but Trump enjoys the most support of any candidate among somewhat conservative (40%) and moderate (41%) voters.”
Patrick Murray, director of the poll, said, ““The overwhelmingly negative feelings of South Carolina Republicans toward the political establishment have helped Trump build upon the support he enjoyed since the summer. The fact that six candidates are still in the race partly accounts for the size of his lead, despite the fact that he has relatively high negative ratings overall.”
