FOX News Poll: Donald Trump Continues to Lead in South Carolina

    No shake-up in the Republican race… The latest FOX News poll shows Donald Trump is the far and away front-runner in a key primary state.

    FOX News’ Jared Halpern has more from Washington:

    Donald Trump gets 35% support among likely South Carolina Republican voters in a new FOX News Poll.

    Well ahead of the second place Ben Carson with 15%, virtually tied with Senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio each at 14%. No other Republican tops 5%…

    Notably, the survey was conducted between December 5 and 8, the days just before, and just after Trump called for the total shutdown of Muslims entering the U.S., a statement that appears to have helped Trump in South Carolina… His support jumped eight points after that proposal.
