Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are in commanding positions in South Carolina, a new CNN/ORC poll finds.
Trump holds a 16-point lead among those likely to vote in the state's Republican primary on Saturday. His 38% easily outpaces Ted Cruz, who has 22%. But the survey suggests Trump's support may have softened following last week's combative GOP debate.
Clinton, meanwhile, leads Bernie Sanders 56% to 38%. The former secretary of state is handily leading among black voters, a key voting bloc in the state, and among women. The Democratic primary will be held February 27, a week after the GOP contest.
The six GOP candidates will take part in back-to-back CNN Republican town hall events on Wednesday and Thursday nights in South Carolina. Follow the town halls and complete coverage of the presidential campaign on CNN TV, CNN.com and CNN Mobile.
