An InsiderAdvantage poll conducted Wednesday night has former House Speaker Newt Gingrich now leading the Republican primary race in South Carolina.
The poll of likely Republican primary voters has Gingrich with 32 percent, ahead of Mitt Romney who trailed close behind at 29 percent.
The results are a significant reversal for Romney, who had led polls before Tuesday's Fox News debate. A poll conducted by InsiderAdvantage last Sunday showed Romney with a double-digit lead over Gingrich.
The InsiderAdvantage poll is the first major South Carolina survey after the debate. Gingrich has been crediting with winning the debate.
The poll found that support for Ron Paul and Rick Santorum is faltering, with both pulling 15 and 11 percent, respectively.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry finished last with just 3 percent of the vote. Three percent of those polled selected "other candidate" and 7 percent said they had no opinion.
The survey polled 718 registered Republican voters.

Before I’m sure, since his opportunistically bitter ex-wife’s story was only hinted at a few hours ago.
I don’t think this Marianne story will have much effect. If anything, I think the tactic might backfire. Given that it was how many years ago, plus she’s an EX-wife…
...but.....but....but....debates don’t matter. No one makes up their mind from a debate. (do I really need the /sarc sign?)
Wow, Volatility! At this trend, Newt will win and win big......but then there is Marianne.....but then there is Romney with millions in multiple accounts in the Grand Cayman tax hidee-hole.

Wouldn’t know. But logically, I would think the marrianne story is being rushed on the air because all the polls are reflecting what this poll reflects.
Got to hand it to them. The timing of the ex-wife interview orchestrated by Romney/nobama/axelrod/rove is absolutely perfect!
YES!!!
Bet your compatriots won’t doubt your “pulse” again, my friend. -:)
ANYONE KNOW MR. DRUDGE???? I think this deserves a red siren!!!!
This explains a lot. No wonder ABC and Obama launchd a smear attack. Obama is counting on a cake walk to re-election against Romney not a real fight with Newt.

How do we know she’s going to say bad stuff about this marriage anyway? But if so, she’s obviously a disgruntled wife seeking revenge...and the money she’s being paid probably is substantial...maybe soros coughed it up. At any rate this stuff is getting old and frankly the news agencies should be ashammed for even considering something that happened 11 yrs. ago....tired of this nonesense when our country is in such peril.
No worries...this Marianne is no Ginger ;)
Expect CNN to come at Newt full throttle tomorrow night!
