Trump Trumps Republican field in South Carolina

"Trump has the backing of 30 percent of likely Republican primary voters in the Palmetto State, double that of second place finisher Ben Carson’s 15 percent in Monmouth University’s new poll released Monday. 
The two political outsiders are the only candidates who polled in the double digits, as more than six in 10 polled said they want a “president from the outside of government  who can bring a new approach to Washington.”
“Political experience is not a particularly valuable commodity this primary season,” Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute, said in a statement with the poll’s release. 
Former Gov. Jeb Bush (Fla.) takes third place with 9 percent of the vote, followed by Sen. Marco Rubio’s (Fla.) 6 percent, Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) and Carly Fiorina’s 5 percent, and Gov. Scott Walker’s 4 percent.  

The state’s longtime senator, Lindsey Graham, fell to eighth place, tied with Walker at 4 percent. Earlier polling by NBC News and Public Policy Polling from February found Graham strongly in the hunt for the primary victory, but his lead has evaporated. Graham’s favorable scores are under water in his home state, as 50 percent view him unfavorably compared to just 35 percent who hold a favorable view of him in the new poll.

Trump chided Graham on Twitter for his showing in his home state, noting that Graham is trailing him by 26 percentage points." TheHill
