Reuters reports that IMMIGRATION ranked as the top issue for voters in South Carolina’s Republican presidential primary  won convincingly by Donald Trump yesterday, according to an exit poll conducted by Edison Research.

Among the polling results:

39% of voters said immigration mattered most when deciding how they would vote in the contest, compared with 33% who said the economy mattered most. 10% cited abortion policy and 11% said foreign policy.

South Carolina has one of America’s smallest immigrant populations. Just 5% of residents were born abroad, compared with 14% nationwide, according to U.S. Census estimates.

65% of voters on Saturday do not think Joe Biden legitimately won the 2020 presidential election, while 63% said that if former President Donald Trump were convicted of a crime, he would still be fit for the presidency.
