(Now, do they show Thompson behind 26-21, or is he already ahead, and ARG only wanted to correct the results enough to show Thompson had “trend”?)

Note also: Huckabee gained 17 points relative to McCain!

Huckabee ahead is not cool.

If, in the actual primary voting, Fred breaks into the 20s and is within 10-12 points of the leader—even if that’s third—then he is definitely trending up and needs to stay in the race. McCain and Huck are by no means more viable, and he need not yield to them. If anyone is the leader right now for the nomination, it’s Romney.

Fred Thompson has surged EIGHT points in just two days

Is this poll national or for SC?
