An InsiderAdvantage poll conducted Wednesday night has former House Speaker Newt Gingrich now leading the Republican primary race in South Carolina.
The poll of likely Republican primary voters has Gingrich with 32 percent, ahead of Mitt Romney who trailed close behind at 29 percent.
The results are a significant reversal for Romney, who had led polls before Tuesday's Fox News debate. A poll conducted by InsiderAdvantage last Sunday showed Romney with a double-digit lead over Gingrich.
The InsiderAdvantage poll is the first major South Carolina survey after the debate. Gingrich has been crediting with winning the debate.
The poll found that support for Ron Paul and Rick Santorum is faltering, with both pulling 15 and 11 percent, respectively.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry finished last with just 3 percent of the vote. Three percent of those polled selected "other candidate" and 7 percent said they had no opinion.
The survey polled 718 registered Republican voters.

I’m fine now, Christie- just another day at the beach.
And I think you’re right. This can blow over for Newt if the conservative talk show people who have been promoting him since the debate, expose this charade with the same energy that they used on Newt for Bain capitalism. That Greta said it was “dirty”- well, good on her.
Best.
“This explains a lot. No wonder ABC and Obama launchd a smear attack. Obama is counting on a cake walk to re-election against Romney not a real fight with Newt”
You are right on target. No totally sure about the players but the motive is clear. The internal polls have been showing Newt making a big move on Mitt and the msm, RINOS etc have to stop Newt. GO NEWT GO!
Levin is blasting Mittens for his PAC ads against Newt.
Not being in SC, does anyone have videos or examples of some of them?
Mark said they are vicious and unbecoming of a GOP candidate and if Romney continues on this path, he will not be elected. :-)
It’s a poll of Republicans, not conservatives. Betcha they love Lindsey Graham too, since they keep electing him...
“ANYONE KNOW MR. DRUDGE???? I think this deserves a red siren!!!!”
No way will Drudge put this up on his website. He is in the tank for Romney. He will post up anything good about Mitt but only negatives about Newt.
And take Ron and his PHONY, manipulated stats with them.
WOW!
GO NEWT!!!!!

Please Dear God, let this be your blessing.
Sweet!!!
Uh Oh. You’re gonna git it!
Yes. This is an open primary, however, it is on a Saturday...will Dems really interrupt their weekend to go vote? Not as much, I think. And also the weather forecast is callling for RAIN....that usually keeps the rats turnout low.
I was getting down a wee bit, now I am back to hopeful and excited!!
Eat THIS Fox news!
It will happen because he has become too arrogant about his page of links. Ann Coulter is on twitter making crappy remarks. They are doing damage control for Romney to smack Palin power down. I would like to know who paid to have this done.
Hmm...so Gov Palin says shed vote for Newt and the Next day he takes the lead after being behind by 11 in the most recent poll. Not too shabby.
*********************
Jeltz, don’t take this wrong- I’ve been posting for a while that Gov. Palin should come out for Newt. But, I also said that she wasn’t going to back a loser- and if she did back him- she wanted to be seen as the one given him the last push.
I think she saw the momentum, and being the uncanny politician she is-— she jumped in just at the right time! God Bless her.
What’s that I’m hearing?
Santorum needs to pull out?
I think you owe us an apology.
I didn’t comment in my original reply. But I agree w/ you. Tempest in a tea pot.
Go Newt!
You have that right!
And all they have is an ex?
They are hosed...
On Drudge it says the ex-wife will air Thursday night on Nightline.
Rick Perry at 3% in S. Carolina.
Oops!
The people in S. Carolina are heartless.
