SC Insider Advantage: Mitt 23, Newt 21, Santorum 14, Ron 13

[NC5Paul]

Just saw this on RCP and don't see it on the first few pages; apologies if it's already been posted.

Anyway, we're making moves, folks:

Romney: 23
Gingrigh: 21
Santorum: 14
Paul: 13
Huntsman: 7 (SSSSSUUUURRRRRGGGGEEEE!!!!!)
Perry: 5 (adios, cowboy)

EDIT: 17% undecided, which IMO is great for us given SC voters' overwhelmingly positive response to the NH speech

726 registered voters, unsure of other details. Here's a write-up: http://chronicle.augusta.com/news/aiken/2012-01-11/sc-poll-mitt-romney-has-small-lead-over-newt-gingrich.

I like the fact that Huntsman is at 7. It helps drag Romney down to 23.

Paul at 13 is highest of the cycle in SC. Still needs to be higher though.

 

[bluesc]

I'll take it.

When was it conducted???? Before New Hampshire????

 

[Aratus]

we are within 10% of mitt and about to streak past rick S

newt is our most difficult obstacle in terms of getting 2nd

we may end up just underneath mitt and just above newt

 

[Epic]

Conducted after NH.

RP at just 7% among republicans. We seriously need some pro-military veteran stuff going on.

 

[Agorism]

dates taken? likely voters?

 

[SamuraisWisdom]

Still have time to improve that situation, especially with two (or three?) debates before the election.

 

[torchbearer]

rp surging.

 

[Epic]

RP only 19% of youth vote, but it was 48% in Iowa and 47% in NH. Look for that to be 40% on primary day. RP's numbers are going north of 13%.

 

[nowwearefree]

i would take a strong third now
top 3 is not bad at all
combine it with NH, and Iowa's result, its really good i think

 

[pauliticalfan]

We're up 6 points from December and are within 10 points of first, the closest I believe we've ever been. It's not gonna be easy, but we can make some serious stuff happen down there. Especially with Romney taking all the heat, you've gotta believe some of his supporters have us as a second choice.

 

[NC5Paul]

Trying to find poll details, but I'm on a phone now and it's a little tough. Don't like how poorly we're doing among Republicans but I'm encouraged by slight bump we've gotten.

 

[Agorism]

How much did we outperform polling in NH?

+5?

 

[Epic]

Romney down, Newt down, Santorum down, but...

Paul Surges in South Carolina, Only Down 10 to Romney

 

[Agorism]

Paul made a small ad buy in S.C. from what I saw on CNN last night.

I hope he is going to attack Gingrich and Santorum.

 

[Epic]

Romney beats RP by 30 among seniors, and only is ahead of RP by 10.

 

[blazeKing]

SURGING!!! Only down 10, only down 8 from second place? We can make this happen!!

Wasn't that small. I read that it was around $1million, which is a pretty big buy in SC. Plus there are some SuperPACs putting out ads for Ron as well. AND we have the debates. SC is up for grabs guys, and we can make it happen.

CNN said it was under 100k, I believe. There isn't the Super Pac money the others have.
