60% of South Carolina Voters Say They Would Not Back Ramaswamy ‘Under Any Circumstances’

A majority of GOP voters in South Carolina have ruled out voting for Vivek Ramaswamy, according to a new survey.

A SRSS poll conducted for CNN found Donald Trump leading in support among South Carolina Republicans, leading even the state's former governor, Nikki Haley, by more than 30 points.

Trump led the GOP field with 52% support, while Haley trailed in second at 22%. The only other candidate to get double digit support was Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, R.

Republican voters in the survey were also asked which candidates they've ruled out the possibility of voting for.

While around 80% of voters are either supporting Trump or considering supporting him, 72% said they would consider supporting Haley or Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C, while 68% said the same about DeSantis.

A majority has ruled out voting for Chris Christie, with 71% saying they will not support the vocal Trump critic. Over 60% said they would not consider voting for Pence either, who ended his 2024 campaign before the release of the data.

Among this group is also Ramaswamy with 60% saying they've ruled out supporting the entrepreneur. In a general matchup with all other candidates, Ramaswamy only managed 1% support, trailing Christie and Pence.

Just 36% of respondents said they'd consider voting for Ramaswamy.

The SRSS poll was conducted among more than 1100 registered voters (over 700 of whom were Republicans) from October 18-25.
