That would be about 41% of the Republican voters in SC, according to a story I read this morning. That's a LOT of wiggle room for the polls.

First Read also picked it up:
Final SC Thoughts: And with one of us on the ground in South Carolina, here are a few final thoughts on the GOP contest there: Thompson’s crowd yesterday of more than 400 anti-immigration, national security hardliners was fervent and he was animated, pacing back and forth on the stage gesturing forcefully and talking tough. He got “Amens” and “that’s rights” Perhaps his best performance yet? But one can’t help but feel that had he given his all and had he bought into the process, he could win this thing — which he probably won’t. Huck, playing guitar again, drew a smaller crowd than Fred (about 250 to 300) at the University of South Carolina in Columbia. And many on the ground are questioning the level of zeal here among evangelicals compared with Iowa. As for McCain, he’s going to get the veterans and coastal voters. It’s almost as if they’re on a mission. Maybe they even think something’s owed to him from 2000. This state will break three ways — the coast, Lexington County and the upstate. McCain solely campaigned at the coast yesterday, while Huckabee and Thompson campaigned in the same neighborhoods upstate.
