Quote:

Pollster John Zogby on South Carolina: “There is movement afoot in the Palmetto State. The precise three-day rolling average is McCain 28.6%, Huckabee 22.3%, Romney 15.4%, and Thompson 13.2%. The very first day of polling McCain led by double digits. In the single day of polling on Thursday alone, Romney hit 19%, while McCain’s lead over Huckabee stood at only 3.2%. If Romney continues to gain after Michigan it will hurt McCain.

“McCain leads solidly in the East, and holds slight leads in the Central and Northwest regions of the state. He dominates among moderates, older voters, and Independents. He holds a slight lead over Huckabee among Republicans while Romney is beginning to make a three-way race among Republicans. Huckabee is very strong among very conservative voters and evangelical Christians.
