Donald Trump is having a hard time lately on the campaign trail. He is suffering in the polls and he can thank Hillary and her cronies for the smear job, but the one place he should not struggle in is the South, and he is neck and neck in South Carolina. Yes the red state of the SC is “purple…”

Our new South Carolina poll, on behalf of @scdp, finds a toss up race in the state: https://t.co/cZolxcIrXl

Got ourselves our first poll out of South Carolina (PPP), and woah:

Trump 41
Clinton 39
Johnson 5
Stein 2 https://t.co/HSH6CnZSUI

From Red State:

Trump supporters dismissed last week’s WSB/Landmark pollshowing Clinton and Trump essentially tied in Georgia. Another poll has just been released by the Atlanta Journal-Constitutionwhich confirms that Georgia is now essentially a toss up state between Clinton and Trump.

Trump’s 4-point lead over Clinton — he’s at 45 percent — is within the poll’s margin of error, meaning neither can confidently claim a state that’s voted for the GOP nominee since 1996. Sprinkled throughout are reminders of the challenges both face in capturing Georgia: dim voter enthusiasm, high unfavorability ratings and deep skepticism from voters.

Now let’s not get all nervous from the polls, polls are wrong from time to time. As a Political scientist I have seen it in my own data research, but Trump needs to be careful, and get his message back on track, before we have another Clinton Presidency.
