hhhmmm...Fred now at 21 % .....
In the final American Research Group poll in South Carolina, Mike Huckabee has jumped in front of John McCain and now leads 33% to 26%. Fred Thompson moved into third place with 21% as Mitt Romney has dropped to fourth place with 9%.
Key findings: Huckabee leads among Republicans (81% of this sample) with 37%, followed by McCain and Thompson at 22% each. As has been the case in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Michigan, the negative campaign against McCain has been very effective, with McCain losing 7 percentage points among Republicans in 2 days. McCain continues to lead among independents at 48%, with 19% for Huckabee. Romney’s decision to leave South Carolina has cost him over half of his support in the state.

Interesting numbers. Hope the trend continues. We need to knock off McPain and the Huckster.
Gonna vote for Fred now?
What is even more interesting is the poll numbers for NV. Hukster has TANKED and Thompson has risen 7 points. Go check it out.
See the polls dont mean diddley squat. Everyone needs to go voter there conscience.
This is the poll where Fred looks the best, and where McCain’s numbers seem more realistic (even losing to Huckabee makes more sense in SC). What do we know about this poll’s methods? Why are the other polls so different?
