South Carolina Now Up For Grabs
Lastest poll is four-way tie, within margin of error, at 10%.
Lieberman's support dropped from 13 percent in July to 8 percent in the poll conducted Sept. 2-3. Gephardt, who was at 10 percent in March, fell to 4 percent in the recent survey.
Edwards, the senator from neighboring North Carolina, was at 10 percent, while Dean, the former governor of Vermont, was at 9 percent. Kerry, the Massachusetts senator who formally announced his candidacy in South Carolina Tuesday, was at 8 percent.
Based on his survey, pollster John Zogby said "this campaign is not even on the radar screen in South Carolina." He said the numbers indicate that the results in Iowa and New Hampshire could influence the outcome in South Carolina, which holds its primary Feb. 3. The Iowa caucuses are Jan. 19; New Hampshire's primary tentatively is set for Jan. 27.
EL - I could be a Deaner and say Leiberman and Gephardt continue to fade while Dean has moved up to number 2 in SC but the numbers are really too small.
