Ted Cruz Crushes Donald Trump’s Lead in SC Polls
This is a big deal. Ted Cruz has completely caught up to Trump’s popularity in SC and is now polling only 5% lower. This in the face of previous polls having Cruz show 13 percent behind Trump. The Hill is now reporting that the race has become much closer thanks to the latest polls coming out of the same region, provided by NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist.
More from The Hill‘s report:
Trump and Cruz are followed by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) with 15 percent, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at 13 percent and Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Ben Carson tied at 9 percent.
Cruz leads Trump among self-identified Tea Party supporters, 35 percent to 31 percent. No other candidate registers above Rubio’s 13 percent support among the Tea Party.
However, only 8 percent of Trump supporters report they “might vote differently” on Saturday, compared to 15 percent of those backing Rubio and Cruz and 22 percent of Bush backers.
Trump is looking to build on his momentum Saturday after a decisive win in the New Hampshire primary earlier this month.
