This is our current best estimate for the outcome of the South Carolina primary. We look at the votes that have been reported so far and adjust our estimate based on what we expect from the votes that remain. Read more about how it works.
Trump +20
Trump +17 to Trump +23
This chart shows the range of estimates for the leading candidates’ shares of the final vote. As more votes are reported, the ranges should narrow as our statistical model becomes more confident.
Once a state has counted all its votes, our estimated margin and the reported margin will match. As a rule, when our estimated margin is steady in the presence of new data, our forecast is more trustworthy.

These maps show the share of the total vote received by Mr. Trump and Mrs. Haley in each county.
Polls close at 7 p.m. Eastern time. In the Democratic primary held on Feb. 3, results began to come in soon after, and nearly all votes had been reported by 11 p.m. South Carolina does not have voter registration by party, but the small share (about 4 percent) of voters who participated in the Democratic primary may not vote in the Republican primary. Voter registration deadlines were in January.
The state offered nine days of early voting, and those with valid excuses were allowed to vote absentee by mail. More than 217,000 voters had already cast their ballots as of Friday — 30 percent of the total number of votes in the 2016 Republican primary.
Nikki Haley, who served as the governor of South Carolina from 2011 to 2017, is the only major challenger to former president Donald J. Trump who remains in the race. Mr. Trump has led polling in the state and in national surveys by a significant margin, but Ms. Haley has said she intends remain in the race through Super Tuesday on March 5.
