Mike Huckabee 22%
Mitt Romney 13%
Fred Thompson 10%
Ron Paul 6%
Rudy Giuliani 3%
Unsure 17%

Quote:

Despite the impending vote at the end of the week, and the importance of South Carolina in the national pattern of GOP contests, only slightly more than half the voters had a “good idea” about whom they were going to support on election day. Nearly 40 percent of the voters were unsure about who would receive their support. Based on these figures, we expect that as many as one-quarter of the voters might decide in the last 24 hours before the Saturday election.
