Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : For example, in 2016, Trump won all of South Carolina's 50 delegates by garnering 33 percent of the votes and all of Florida's 99 delegates with 46 percent of the votes.
58% : This "winner's bonus" was evident in many states Trump won in the 2016 primary, such as Alabama, where his vote share was 43 percent
55% : In the 2024 South Carolina primary, Trump won 60 percent of the vote but landed 94 percent of the state's delegates.
50% : Alaska and several other states use this method in state elections, but not for the presidential race.
48% : But none of the three took the lead because of the party's nomination system, which assigned Trump 58.3 percent of the delegates at the Republican National Convention; the formal process by which the nominee is selected.
40% : In other words, a majority of Republican voters preferred Cruz, Kasich and Rubio to Trump.
18% : But during primary season, polls suggested that in head-to-head primaries, Trump would have lost not only to Cruz, but also to third-place Republican finisher John Kasich and Marco Rubio, who placed fourth.
