ARG Poll: McCain, Obama Leading in South Carolina

A new American Research Group poll in South Carolina finds Sen. John McCain leading the Republican presidential race with 33%, followed by Mike Huckabee at 23%, Mitt Romney at 20%, and Fred Thompson at 13%.

Caveat: "Please be aware that our surveys have clearly shown McCain's support weakening among Republicans in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Michigan in the days and hours leading up to voting because of negative advertising and calls against McCain."

On the Democratic side, Sen. Barack Obama leads Hillary Clinton 44% to 38%, with 9% for John Edwards.

InsiderAdvantage Poll: Obama Leads in South Carolina

An InsiderAdvantage survey in South Carolina finds Sen. Barack Obama leading the Democratic presidential race with 41%, followed by Sen. Hillary Clinton at 31% and John Edwards at 13%.

Key finding: Among African American voters, Obama leads Clinton 61% to 17%.

Said pollster Matt Towery: “Hillary Clinton has lost the lion’s share of the African-American vote in South Carolina. The presence of John Edwards is hurting Clinton as he claims a portion of the white vote that Clinton badly needs."

2. To trust an ARG poll, or not to trust an ARG poll, that is the question

I think they are polling it too close right now. I think Obama is up by at least ten points at the moment.

3. You just dont know

Dont believe anything until the votes are cast. If Edwards support softens in SC and people decide to break for Clinton, anything is possible.

If the vote gets anywhere near close after what Hillary's been through, Obama will be in trouble.

4. Looks like a rising Edwards means lower Hillary and bigger win for Obama
