American Research Group: South Carolina Republican Presidential Preference
Can someone explain to me how Fred Thompson and Mitt Romney seem to have switched places between ARG's August and September polling in South Carolina? Romney was running in single digits, even before Thompson entered the race. Thompson was at 21% in August, and polled at 10% in September and October. Romney was at 9% in August and polled at 26% in September and October. All other polls show Thompson with more support than Romney. Are ARG's data entry people coding the responses incorrectly?

The reasons for Romneys surge in SC come down to his leadership and organizational skills, a consistently high energy level, in combination with his stances on the issues.
Thanks for your comment, Ms. Peery; nice to hear from someone who's maxed out for Romney. Whatever the man's qualities, don't you think it's strange that ARG is the only poll detecting this "surge"?
You get around: A quick Google search turns up a letter to the Athens, Georgia, Banner Herald complaining about columnist Bill Shipp's reference to "magic Mormon underwear."
Your devotion to your candidate is admirable. Feel free to comment here any time.
