Romney and Gingrich Statistically Tied in South Carolina
Compiled from InsiderAdvantage and Southern Political Report staff
January 12, 2012 — Conducted: Evening of Wednesday, January 11, 2012 Base: 726 likely voters in South Carolina; registered in South Carolina IVR Poll Weighted for Age, Race and Gender Margin of error +/- 3.8% Romney: 23% Gingrich: 21% Santorum: 14% Paul: 13% Huntsman: 7% Perry: 5% Other: 2% Undecided/ No opinion: 15% InsiderAdvantage/Southern Political Report/ Creators Syndicate Matt Towery: “Romney and Gingrich are even among those who identify themselves as ‘Republicans’ in South Carolina. Among those who call themselves ‘Independent,’ Paul leads at 29% but Gingrich and Romney are not far behind. Men favor Gingrich, while women favor Romney. Most of interest, Santorum performs well among voters age 30-44, holds his own among women, but is doing poorly among male voters.” Towery continues “This is, for the moment, a two person race, made up of Romney and Gingrich, who are statistically tied. The question is whether their strategies and actions will break this race in one direction or the other in the next week and three days.” For cross tabs click here |
