Newt Gingrich led Mitt Romney 34-28 in PPP's South Carolina polling last night, the first of what will be three nights of tracking. Ron Paul at 15%, Rick Santorum at 14%, Rick Perry at 5%, and Buddy Roemer at 3% round out the field.
This is not a case of Romney imploding. His support has been pretty steady in the 28-30% range in our South Carolina polling so far. But Gingrich has risen from 23% to 34% over the last two weeks, benefiting from declining support for Santorum and also from undecided voters moving into his camp.
It's clear that the debate Monday night did a lot to help Gingrich's prospects in the state. 56% of voters say they watched it, and with those folks Gingrich's lead over Romney is 43-27. Romney still has a 29-22 advantage on Gingrich with those who didn't tune in.

To: wrrock
This could still shift but I think that this result is conservatives coalescing around the person most likely to derail Romney.

And now we know why ABC is dragging out Newt's ex-wife. All the plans for the democrats involved running against Romney. They can beat Romney by going negative. Gingrich is harder because so much of what he has done wrong is old news. In financial terms it is all priced in already.
Newt was not my favorite. To be honest he was number six on the list. The first two didn't run and the next three imploded. So we have Newt, the best of what's left. But for all his failings he can beat Obama. And he would get rid of Obamas cronies in the government. We would need a strong Tea Party in congress to watch him, but unlike Romney he can be pushed into doing the right thing most of the time.

Why would you want to split the CONSERVATIVE vote again?
UNLESS you’re Rombot in disguise?

This kind of positive momentum for Newt just before the SC primary will kill Romney (or so I hope).
All we need now is Sarah's endorsement to seal the deal.
Go Newt!

I don’t think you understand how Republican primary politics works.
Btw, are you a registered Republican? And if so, for how long?

I heard somewhere that Newt received 150 Tea party organizers’ endorsements today in SC.
He’s definitely on a roll.......and if Palin, Huck, Cain, etc. want to board a flight to Carolina, now’s the time to be BOLD & DO IT!

The good news is for the first time in a long time with a Newt candidacy, the MSM will not characterize him stupid...we are at last back at the point where the MSM will characterize our candidate as evil.

Love it, love it, love it.
It’s kinda comical watching Fox-Romney-news tie themselves into knots trying to change this.
The bastards won’t give up, but I suspect that today, Rove has flu like symptoms.
Dana Perino is tripping all over herself and I fully expect her to be crying on live TV before this is all over.
