Half of S.C. Democratic and Republican voters say they are paying attention to the 2016 presidential campaign but have not settled on a candidate, a new poll shows.
Nearly 60 percent of Republicans and 48 percent of Democrats said they have not decided who they will vote for in the February nominating contests. according to the Clemson University Palmetto Poll released Tuesday.
Just 39 percent of Republicans and 36 percent of Democrats said they have a good idea who they will support in the primary elections.
We have an electorate interested in the 2016 presidential primary in South Carolina, but still undecided as to who will receive their allegiance, Clemson pollster Dave Woodard said. Half the voters admit they are undecided, and those who have chosen a candidate freely admit they might change their minds before the February vote.
