Donald Trump said Wednesday on MSNBC that he never likes to think of himself as the Republican front-runner, despite polls indicating otherwise.
Host Thomas Roberts began by telling Trump, “You are a South Carolina front-runner and also a national front-runner in the new polling that has come out today. So are you confident and feeling as if you are the de facto GOP nominee right now? (VIDEO: MSNBC Contributor: Trump’s Campaign Is ‘Literally Unstoppable’)
“No, I just think I have to keep going from day to day, Thomas. And we’re doing very well,” Trump said. “We have tremendous crowds all over, and we’re doing very well. But I never like to even think of myself as the front-runner. I just want to win it. We want to make America great again, as simple as that. But we are doing well.”
According to a new Quinnipiac University poll out on Wednesday ahead of Saturday’s South Carolina primary, Trump holds a 2-1 lead against his closest competitors nationwide. Trump has 39 percent, [crscore]Marco Rubio[/crscore] has 19 percent, [crscore]Ted Cruz[/crscore] has 18 percent, John Kasich has six percent and Jeb Bush and Ben Carson have four percent, with nine percent of the electorate undecided still.
