Trump Dominates in South Carolina: Holds 27-Point Lead Over Haley in Latest Poll

In a recent Tyson Group survey, former President Donald Trump has emerged as the front-runner in the South Carolina Republican primary race, dealing a blow to potential rival Nikki Haley. The survey, conducted from January 24-26, 2024, among 543 likely GOP primary voters, revealed that Trump commands a substantial 27-point lead over Haley, securing 58 percent support compared to her 31 percent. With 11 percent of voters remaining undecided, the findings underscore Trump’s continued popularity within the Republican base.

Among registered Republicans, Trump maintains an even more commanding lead, with a staggering 41-point advantage over Haley. The numbers show Trump at 69 percent compared to the former governor’s 28 percent. Even among independent voters, Trump outpaces Haley by 15 points, with 48 percent support to her 33 percent. However, Haley manages to secure a significant lead among Democrat voters, with 49 percent favoring her over Trump’s five percent.

The significance of Trump’s lead is magnified by South Carolina’s status as an open primary state, allowing registered Democrats to participate in the GOP primary. Haley’s campaign has strategically targeted non-conservative voters in open primary states, as outlined in a memo released ahead of the New Hampshire primary. New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, a supporter of Haley, has actively encouraged Democrats to vote for her in the upcoming South Carolina primary.

The poll results also shed light on the favorability ratings of both candidates. Trump enjoys a favorable rating of 68-27, reflecting a substantial 41-point lead over Haley’s favorability rating of 56-33.

The outcome of this poll underscores the formidable challenge Haley faces in gaining traction against the enduring popularity of Donald Trump among South Carolina Republicans. With the state’s open primary system, the dynamics of the race become even more critical, as the former president continues to command a significant lead in both Republican and independent voter categories.
