Trump has won South Carolina both times in his earlier presidential runs, and he was up more than 25 points in the final polls taken this week. Trump had 61.8% support in the Palmetto State, compared to Haley’s 36.5%, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average. Nationwide, Trump’s lead in the polling average was much higher at 57.9%.

Haley has insisted she will stay in the race even if she lost her home state, where she served as governor. Experts say a loss for Haley in the state she once governed would be devastating for any future political ambitions.

“Losing your home state is the thing political obituaries are made up of,” Trafalgar chief pollster Robert Cahaly told Just the News recently.
