The Republican battle for SC turned deeply personal on the eve of Saturday’s high-stakes presidential primary, as NY businessman Donald Trump eyed a delegate sweep and his Republican rivals fought for a southern surprise. South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, who has endorsed Bush, went on ABC’s Good Morning America two days later and expressed his displeasure. And 78 percent consider him somewhat or very decisive, a 21-point margin over Texas Sen.

“To Donald Trump it was personal”. John Kasich has a chance to hang around by showing strength in Michigan (March 8) and, on March 15, moderate MA and his home state of Ohio.
Just 42 percent consider Trump likable and 32 percent consider him compassionate.
In the town hall, Bush drew parallels between first-term senators Cruz and Rubio and President Barack Obama, who was a first-term senator when he was elected to the presidency.
Marco Rubio has the knowledge, judgment and demeanor to do what is long overdue: bring back stability and protect the American people.
Aside from the divide among religious philosophies, Burns says South Carolinians are angry with the government and pre-packaged politicians, and are willing to forgive what they see as Trump’s moral transgressions in favor of his “authenticity”.
“Every minute that you’re not on the phone calling friends and loved ones, spend beseeching God, praying for this country, that this spirit of revival that is sweeping this country continue and grow, and that we awaken the body of Christ”, the Texas senator said. Democrats will caucus there tomorrow, as Republicans hold their primary in SC. Only Ben Carson, whose popularity hasn’t translated into votes so far, comes close, with a 59 percent to 28 percent favorable rating.
Asked if he felt the Pope’s comments might stir up support for Trump at the expense of his candidate Rubio, Wilson replied: “I am concerned there will be a backlash”.
They have also preemptively mocked that Rubio might treat third place as a win, as he did in Iowa.
Competence and decisiveness, the measures on which Trump dominates, were important to more than 9 out of 10 Republican voters. Those efforts have produced the most diverse field of candidates in history for Republicans. Nevada has 33 Democratic delegates and 34 Republican delegates up for grabs.
The ad and robocall start with audio of Trump stating, “Put it in a museum, let it go”. Perhaps worse for Bush, just 40 percent think he could win a general election.
“A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be and not of building bridges, is not Christian”. A Bloomberg Politics poll released Thursday showed the former secretary of state leading Sanders, 53 percent to 31 percent among likely Democratic primary voters, buoyed by a 3-to-1 advantage among African-American voters.
Among all voters, almost half don’t know enough about Kasich to have an opinion.

Both these polls were conducted entirely following the most recent GOP debate, which was held on February 14. On the negative side, OpinionSavvy does not use live interviewers; for landlines, an automated IVR system took the survey, and on mobile, respondents used “an identical survey in visual form”. People selected for KnowledgePanel who didn’t otherwise have access to the Internet were provided access at no cost to them.
