Newt Gingrich opens 9 pt lead in South Carolina

Mitt Romney is gonna have to really earn the GOP nomination.

Despite the mainstream media’s hit job on Gingrich, the voters of S.C. is telling the media to stick it.


PPP reports Newt Gingrich heads into South Carolina election day as the clear front runner in the state: he's now polling at 37% to 28% for Mitt Romney, 16% for Rick Santorum, and 14% for Ron Paul.

Gingrich's lead has actually increased in the wake of his ex-wife's controversial interview with ABC. Although one night poll results should always be interpreted with caution, he led the final night of the field period by a 40-26 margin. One thing that continues to work to his advantage are the debates. 60% of primary voters report having watched the one last night, and Gingrich has a 46-23 lead with those folks.

Rush Limbaugh has said more than once. If Romney is to win the nomination he’s gonna have to more to the right. I think he’s doing that. Romney still has the money and the organization to pull it off. But, in the end Romney has to make conservatives happy.
