Trump leading in South Carolina
2016-02-13
[Iran Press TV] Two new polls show presidential front-runner Donald Trump is ahead of his rivals in South Carolina, a state that is expected to be a vital stop in the Republican primary process.

According to a poll released by Georgia-based Opinion Savvy on Friday, the business mogul is leading the Republican field with 36 percent support in the state.

He is followed by Iowa caucus winner Sen. Ted Cruz, whose support stands at 19 percent in the poll.

Sen. Marco Rubio and former Florida governor Jeb Bush have 15 percent and 11 percent of support respectively, the poll revealed. They are followed by Ohio Gov. John Kasich with 9 percent and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson

with 5 percent.

Another poll conducted by South Carolina House Republican Caucus on Friday showed that Trump leads the field there holding 34.5 percent support.

#3  Maybe. Nothing is set in stone, and if any year is going to "break the rules" it will be this one.

Still, those hoping for a Carson come back, for example, are probably just boosting Trump.

#1  No Republican has ever lost both Iowa and New Hampshire and gone on to receive the nomination. By that metric, it is now Cruz or Trump. The rest is just a side show.
