Normally, when polls are released, the company and poll stats are released. This particular poll shows Donald Trump at 32% in South Carolina, Ted Cruz at 26% and Marco Rubio at 20%. The results were posted at the Weekly Standard, yet the pollster hasn’t been named. Instead, the Weekly Standard claims this poll is from a political operative whom Williams Kristol claims to habe known a long time and whose integrity he trusts. Williams Kristol is of course one of the top Trump haters.

I’ve just heard from a political operative whom I’ve known a long time and whose integrity I trust. This person is working with an organization—not one of the campaigns—that was in the field (using a very reputable pollster) Wednesday night in South Carolina.
All previous polls out of South Carolina were released in mid-January so they are out of date.
