Newt Gingrich heads into South Carolina election day as the clear front runner in the state: he's now polling at 37% to 28% for Mitt Romney, 16% for Rick Santorum, and 14% for Ron Paul.
Gingrich's lead has actually increased in the wake of his ex-wife's controversial interview with ABC. Although one night poll results should always be interpreted with caution, he led the final night of the field period by a 40-26 margin. One thing that continues to work to his advantage are the debates. 60% of primary voters report having watched the one last night, and Gingrich has a 46-23 lead with those folks.
The other reason his ex-wife's interview isn't causing him much trouble is that there's a lot of skepticism about it. Only 31% of voters say they think her accusations are true while 35% think they are false and 34% are unsure. 51% of voters say that they have 'no concerns' about what came out in the interview.
The skepticism of Republican voters toward the media is helping Gingrich as well. Just 14% of likely voters have a generally favorable opinion of the media, while 77% view it negatively. Gingrich's attacks on the media have clearly played well with the party base.

For the sake of our country, I sure hope you’re right.
GO NEWT GO......
Going to be FUN to watch! :)
yeah, I have met a few... Ugh
Just think how far down the drain we'd be on "Manmade global warming" if not for the internet.
That would just confirm my impression of him.
“NETWORK SOURCE: Newt Cancels ABCs THIS WEEK For Sunday... Developing...”
Hahahahahaha. Newt’s way so saying “screw you ABC News”. GO NEWT GO!

Nite ya all.
Yes - Brit Hume was practically apoplectic, saying Romney needs to do this and that and fretting about possible damage to Romney in a serious, worried tone. It was both hilarious and disgusting.
He should refuse to appear on ABC News like Obama has avoided Fox News...
... complete with the blood he'll be wearing after he goes up against Newt.
Totally agree with you, lots of prayers and action needed.
Was that before or after Chuck Norris endorsed Newt?
And did the radio guy know that Chuck Norris had endorsed Newt when he said that?
(You forgot Donald Rumsfeld. ;-)
You better believe it.
Newt has stopped them in their tracks, they will have to get another tactic. I doubt that, because the MEDIAs ego just will not admit they lost, but I'll bet right now they are in their panic rooms trying to figure out how they can stop NEWT.
Newt the Gladiator is fighting back, giving as good as he gets, lets say BETTER. How many mods has he already destroyed? NEXT.
Devastating! Rick tried so hard to distinguish himself from the others last night, that he distinguished himself straight into Totalitarianville. Amazing.
I do have to say, however, Hannity’s interview with Newt tonight was good - he’s Sean’s kind of guy and you can see the mutual liking every time.
But, I changed my mind, I should have said NEWT is the Gladiator, as I had Crowe in mind at the time.
Wish I had not made that mistake, not to late to change the scene. lol
That way we can count of the # of foes he has already taken out, and watch NEWT finish them off as we give him the Thumbs down aka standing O's.
