New Poll puts Noot up by four in South Carolina
On a tumultuous day in Republican politics, Newt Gingrich surged ahead in our latest South Carolina tracking poll. Whether it holds or not is anyone’s guess as upheaval prevails in the Palmetto State.
In an explosive day in GOP presidential politics, one candidate — Rick Perry — exited from the race while throwing his support to Gingrich. Meanwhile, one of Gingrich’s ex-wives told ABC News (among other accusations) that Newt had asked for an “open marriage” to sanctify his cheating. If that weren’t enough, it was revealed that Iowa’s slapdash caucus nose count missed a few nostrils, and Rick Santorum–not Mitt Romney–was the actual winner. Whew.
Frankly, all of this turmoil makes for a lousy polling environment, so we want to you to be fully aware of the snapshot the following topline results produced. These numbers could settle down tomorrow…or not. Here are tonight’s numbers with the previous two poll results:
Type: Automated - Date: 1/19/2012 - Participants: 988 Likely voters - Margin of Error: ± 3.12%
Noot has 32% with Mittens at 28% Paul at 13% Santorum at 9% undecided at 14% and Huntsman and Perry still managing 3% each.

I didn't think anything could top the 2008 GOP primary season, and I certainly didn't think they could possibly come up with a worse crop of candidates. As another DU-er pointed out, we'll have three different winners if Gingrich pulls SC out (though I wouldn't be surprised if Romney wins by a hair). And while Steve Colbert's superpac antics are laying bare the dangers of corporate personhood, John McCain looks that much dumber for insisting that two Romney wins made the remaining primaries unnecessary.
Maybe it's because this time around, there aren't any Democratic primaries to compare the GOP's to. Or maybe it's because the GOP didn't learn anything from 2008.
And the clown car rolls on...
