Two Polls Show Gingrich Leading in South Carolina

[brooklynite]

Politico:

Two new polls in South Carolina -- both conducted after Monday's presidential debate -- show a very tight Republican primary race.

American Research Group: Newt Gingrich 33%, Mitt Romney 32%, Ron Paul 19%, Rick Santorum 9%, Rick Perry 4%.

InsiderAdvantage: Newt Gingrich 32%, Mitt Romney 29%, Ron Paul 15%, Rick Santorum 11%, Rick Perry 3%.

Caveat: Harry Enten makes a persuasive case that InsiderAdvantage has a pro-Gingrich bias to its results.

Tonight's debate is -really- going to be fun...

3. I sure hope Romney makes hay of Newt's marriage problems in the debate

Cause I'd love to see Newt squirm out of the revelations coming out of the interview with his ex-wife!

I think the interview with Newt's ex-wife is going to put the media into overdrive talking about Newt's marital problems. What I'm wondering is if Newt has yet another mistress on the side. After all, he is a serial adulterer. And it doesn't say anything good about Callista if she is so religious but had an affair with a married man.

5. No, let Newt get farther along before this gets to be a big issue. It's too good to use so soon. :-)

4. I don't think either of those are very reliable but...

It sure is a bad sign for Romney.
