Romney, Clinton lead in SC

In their last rankings, The National Journal Group said that Governor Mitt Romney is “in real trouble in South Carolina.”

Well, not according to Whit Ayers, who’s new poll puts Romney in a dead heat with Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Senator John McCain. Former Senator Fred Thompson continues his downward spiral.

On the Dem side, Clinton is killing.  It’s bad news for Obama, but for Edwards, its means game over.

REPUBLICANS:

Mitt Romney - 20%
Rudy Giuliani - 19%
John McCain - 17%
Fred Thompson - 13%
Mike Huckabee - 8%

Duncan Hunter - 1%
Tom Tancredo - 0%

DEMOCRATS:

John Edwards - 13%
Joe Biden - 3%

    And we all know what a horrible pollster Whit Ayres is….has he ever called anything right?

    I don’t think this is an outlier. It’s in line with other polls and the Real Clear Politics Poll Average.

    While numbers are certainly subject to MOE, I think anybody with an once of polling knowledge would consider this race a statistical dead heat.
