On another happy note, it looks like Santorum's character attacks on Gingrich drew blood, only it was Santorum's blood. He's in last place not just nationally, but in South Carolina too (see the Realcleapolitics.com SC polling average.)
Gallup runs a 5 day avg and today’s # still includes Romney’s 16 pt lead on Monday. If it’s down to 8 by now it means that it’s tied or Newt was slightly ahead yesterday.
Newt will be ahead by Monday’s Gallup release, especially after tonight.
What are the results for likely Republican voters?
SOUTH CAROLINA LATEST POLL: Gingrich 40%, Romney 26% (ARG Poll)

BCrago66, I saw the Gallup conclusion yesterday that Romney’s support has ‘Collapsed’. This is simply astounding. Being in FL, we have been getting the TV commercials for 2 weeks now, 1 attack Newt mailer from Restore our Future, 3 pro-Romney mailers from the campaign in the last couple of days, and the floor is falling through.
All that money spent to jack Romney up to 40%+, and if Newt wins a convincing win today, the impact of all that Romney money is gone! There was an online rumor last night quoting a Romney campaign source that he may want to skip the Monday debate in Tampa, just to blunt Gingrich’s surge. Another big mistake as it only amplifies the perceived anxiety and weakness that he has in going toe-to-toe against Gingrich. I heard on Fox this morning that Mitt now says he will debate Monday.
This race in my view is the continuation of the Tea Party congressional race in 2010. The conservatives gave the party a huge, overwhelming victory, and the establishment leaders have squandered the energy. This will not stand.
Newt’s statement about a strong partnership with the President and Congress is a big deal and the voters are responding. This is the race of our lifetimes!
I’m registered Republican and I’ve never been surveyed by GALLUP Rassmussen or any other of these polling firms.. Ever..
So what about the other 20%?
We cannot get overconfident.
Folks must vote...as often as possible
and give money when u can
to beat the GOP establishment and the media...including FOX
In the end it isn’t about national poll percentages, it’s about delegates, and who is leading in states with large numbers of delegates. Newt starts with the disadvantage of not being on the Virginia ballot. His decision to go after big money and influence at the start of his campaign, though understandable, was a disaster. Now he needs us, our money and our energy on the campaign trail. Let’s show the Republican Party that we can do what it takes to win, and end the cycle of McCains and Romneys.
That’s my pep talk for the day.
Interestingly I see no Romney signs in my area of the upstate. I saw one Paul sign. Santorum’s signs far outnumber Gingrichs’—though a few of Gingrichs’ signs are larger.
Gingrichbots are trying to bully a win in SC. Hopefully S. Carolinians will be wise to it—especially because they’ve seen Romney and Perry try to do the same thing nationally.

I’m curious why we listen to national polls when the retarded caucus system decides the course. It is good to see Newt rebounding, though.
Will we hear the same pundits say that when Willard loses -- as he did in Iowa -- that his campaign is all over and he should quit and throw his support to...? Of course, the candidate nearest his opinions and political posturing is Obama, so I guess he would withdraw in favour of the Zero?
