Trump Won South Carolina -- But There's 1 Big Caveat

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

67% : "Neither Trump nor Biden are people at this point I want to be our leaders.
59% : Other Haley supporters say they definitely can't see themselves voting for Trump and want to her to stay in the race as long as possible.
57% : Trump is running with many of the benefits of an incumbent but without unified support behind him.
56% : However, she won about 40% of the vote cast on Saturday, a significant margin that, when averaged with her similar performance in New Hampshire, underscored that a high number of Republican primary voters simply don't like Trump.
43% : Haley and her allies argue her vote share says something about how Republicans view Trump and how the party will fare in November.
36% : Anti-Trump sentiment may not hurt his campaign in reliably red state like South Carolina in November, but if even a small percentage of Republicans choose to abstain in battleground states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, Trump could be in trouble.
35% : If Trump wants another term in the White House, he'll need to convince the non-MAGA wing of the Republican Party -- moderates and independents -- to stick with him despite facing 91 criminal charges in various jurisdictions and court-induced fines totalling more than $400 million (£315 million).
29% : The two camps are also divided on the results of the 2020 presidential election: A majority of Trump supporters say Biden wasn't legitimately elected, while most Haley supporters correctly say he was.
17% : The big question, however, is whether the voters who spurned Trump in the Republican primary will stay home in November, or hold their nose and vote for him because they can't bring themselves to vote for Biden.
17% : Patricia Murphy, a Republican voter from Pennsylvania who attended Haley's election night party on Saturday in Charleston, said she believed Trump ought to go to jail.
13% : Trump beat Haley by 20 points -- an embarrassing loss for the former South Carolina governor, to be sure.
10% : CHARLESTON, SC -- Donald Trump may have won the South Carolina Republican primary, but Nikki Haley's better-than-expected performance here exposed glaring weaknesses in the 2024 Republican front-runner's campaign that could hobble his chances against Democrat Joe Biden.
10% : On Saturday, Trump said that Black voters like him because of his criminal indictments, which Haley and Democrats quickly slammed as a racist trope.
