This is the Real Clear Politics Poll averages.

Poll Date......................................Sample....MoE.............Gingrich......Romney.....Paul.....Santorum.....Perry.......Spread...........Undecided*
RCP Average 1/17 - 1/19...................--..........--................32.4..........30.4........13.4.......11.2.........3.0........Gingrich +2.0.......12.6
Clemson 1/18 - 1/19.......................429 LV.....4.7 ..............32 ............26 ..........11...........9..............--........Gingrich +6.........22.0
PPP (D) 1/18 - 1/19........................836 LV....3.4................35 ............29 ..........15 .........15.............--........Gingrich +6..........6.0
Rasmussen Reports 1/18 - 1/18........750 LV.....4.0...............33.............31...........15..........11...............2........Gingrich +2........10.0

Politico/Tarrance (R) 1/17 - 1/18......600 LV.....4.1...............30.............37...........11..........10...............4........Romney +7........13.0

If we remove the outliers for declared votes we end up with:

Ron Paul is polling solidly at 13.6%. Because the MSM/Polls bias and inaccuracies Ron has been getting approximately 5% more then these polls show putting him at about 18.6% as of now. Approximately 20% of voters are are not being polled which are independents, democrats. Ron has been pulling approximately 40% of these voters. 40% of 20% is 8% of the total vote. The other 12% is split between the other "cough" canidates giving Ron approximately an extra 4% of the vote. I see Ron Paul pulling approximately 22.6% of the vote in SC.
That leaves 77.4% of the vote to be split between the others. (percentagtes rounded so results may not be 100%)

Gingrich.......34%
Romney.......32%
Paul............23%
Santorum.....12%

Now the BIG change will come in first time voters most of which are not polled. 33% of Iowa and 38% of NH first time voters went to Ron Paul. Ron Paul,s message is spreading especially among this demographic. Based on this trend I guestimate that Ron will get approximately 42-44% of first time voters in SC. First time voters made up 12% of the electorate in Iowa and NH. That means Ron Paul will gain 42-44% of 12% of the electorate. Ron will get a 3% bump from this electorate while the others take a hit % wise.

Gingrich.......33%
Romney.......31%
Paul............26%
Santorum.....11%

Lets face it, voters from the Huntmans and Perry campaigns wanted someone other than the Grinch and Romney. I predict Santorum and Paul will pick up the lions share of these voters resulting in a 2% bump for both of them at Romney's and the Grinch's expense.

Gingrich.......31%
Romney.......29%
Paul............28%
Santorum.....13%

Now correcting for writer bias, ME :), Im gona subtract 4% from Paul and split it between the 3. All politics is local and even though the national news networks are not reporting all Ron Paul's endorsements, the local media is to a certain extent. I would subtract from the others for all the negatives things that happened to them: tax returns, open marriage, and bad performances, but the sheeple in SC with the MSM brainwashing will give it right back to them so they cancel each other out. Finally, Santorum won Iowa, that will boost him at Romney's expense by 1% and he will take 1% from both the Grinch and Romney from the religious war mongerers in SC.

Gingrich.......31%
Romney.......28%
Paul............24%
Santorum.....17%

Final analysis, its Iowa all over again. Romney and the Grinch slugging it out for first with Ron Paul a very strong 3rd. Stick a fork in Santorum, he is done.

EDIT: I forgot to take into consideration Cain. I will put him at 3% and since Cain was liked by Paul supporters that means Paul is gona take the hit.

Gingrich.......31%
Romney.......28%
Paul............21%
Santorum.....17%
Cain/Colbert...3%

Sounds great. I just worry the enthusiasm and outreach in IOWA and NH were much greater then it will be in SC.

Did u account for that?

Also, have u written up previous synopsis - if so, how accurate your final numbers?

This is great! I think these polls are way lower than what Paul is going to get based mainly on the reasons you presented here.
 
Sounds great. I just worry the enthusiasm and outreach in IOWA and NH were much greater then it will be in SC.

That may be true. I think the media has been blacking out Ron Paul even more when you consider that he is really #2 right now. I think the polls are also not including a lot of voters who are mostly Ron Paul supporters. I really feel like his poll numbers are much lower than what the result will be.

Did u account for that?

Also, have u written up previous synopsis - if so, how accurate your final numbers?

The outreach was crucial in the early states, but we are now on the 3rd primary state. Lack of an outreach program will probably be made up for with Ron's debate performance, news coverage of the last 2 primaries, more time to campaign compared to NH, and endorsements from SC politicians.
 
People who boo the golden rule don't get it, still a little voice inside of me prays for dr Paul to come in at 2nd place.
And that Cheat Grinchrich comes in 3rd, Romney I guess will be 1st and Santorum *don't google his name* comes in last, making this his last campaignday.
 
paul is gonna end up being third. but im hoping for second. after they booed the golden rule i really lost all faith in SC.

the crowd was just rigged in that debate, not a smart crowd at that. i was depressed until yesterday's debate where the crowd was not biased and stood up for Ron Paul.

One silver lining in this surge of the Newt is the collapse of Romney.. If Ron can stay steady and begin picking up states like Maine, Louisiana, and we can get a Romney drop out.. We'll be the only candidate on the ballot in Virginia. I think Ron beats Newt in Texas and California picking up a huge amount of delegates. Don't listen to your T.V. we're making history this year. S.C. is only the 3rd contest.

S.C. Primary: Swinger - 38%
Romney - 25%
Paul - 20%
Santorum -12%
Cain - 3%
 
Paul 25
grinch 24
romney 23
santorum 18
cain 5
colbert write in 1

revised :)
