http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/sc/south_carolina_democratic_primary-234.html

Here's the South Carolina polls. I see people posting this poll and that, but it seems that looking at the average of all of them at the same time is the thing that you should consider, for a more accurate indication?

2. Real Clear Politics
is a freeper site, I hope you know. It's to the right as much as the idiot in chief and rates about the same as Drudge or townhall. It's one of the sites several extreme putzes I know quote a lot.

I would look askance at any poll brought up by them. Zogby is a better source, and I'm sure that some posters will recommend far more liberal sites than realclearpolitics.

3. you complain RCP is a freeper source then recommend Zogby?
By the way, RCP's poll averages, what the OP was referring to, includes Zogby.

6. Zogby is more to the left
than RCP, at the very least. And many DUers signed up with Zogby on one of their campaigns to add more poll takers.

It's not anywhere near being progressive enough, but anything is better than RCP.

To the extent I buy polls.
Zogby hedged his bets on SC - "too many undecideds" - or as I like to say "we didn't sample for
