1. Mitt Romney 29% (-2)
2. Newt Gingrich 25% (+1)
3. Ron Paul 20% (+11)
4. Rick Perry 9% (+7)
5. Rick Santorum 7% (-17)
6. Jon Huntsman 1% (-1)
Ron Paul now polls an even stronger top three in the key early voting state of South Carolina, according to a new survey.
In the latest ARG poll Paul is in third place garnering 20 percent, with Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich in first and second place with 29 and 25 percent, respectively. Other poll highlights include Paul polling strongest of all candidates among independents, and Paul polling strong among Tea Party members.
ARG polled 600 likely Republican primary voters on January 11th and 12th. Since the last poll of its kind taken January 4th to 5th, Paul gained the most – surging from 9 to 20 percent – while Rick Santorum lost the most, freefalling from 24 to 7 percent. In the prior poll, Paul was third at 9 percent, Gingrich and Santorum were tied for second at 24 percent, and Romney with 31 percent was first. Over the life of the ARG poll this presidential cycle, Paul’s support has grown from 1 percent in April when he declared his candidacy to 20 percent, where it is today.
“On the heels of his competitive showings in Iowa and New Hampshire, Ron Paul is now surging in the key early voting state of South Carolina. In a week’s time the congressman’s support in South Carolina has grown tremendously, attributed to the fact that more voters are learning about his platform of limited government and a return to personal and economic liberty,” said Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton.

Gingrich is there to take votes away from Ron Paul. The fix is in. It was in New Hampshire and Iowa, and now SC.

Make sure to point out to social security recipients that Ron Paul will not change SS or Medicare for seniors who are receiving them now or in the near term. Instead Ron Paul would stop supporting foreign countries and bring all that money home to take care of senior Americans. All the other candidates, including Obama, will have to cut SS and Medicaid to try to limit expenditures.

The NDAA is an act that was signed into law basically allowing the government to arrest indefinitely any u.s, citizen without trial suspected of terrorism.,.. HOW is that a good thing?

In no way, am I anti-semitic.
But, for the life of me, I can’t seem to figure out why many non-Jewish U.S. citizens are so eager & willing to sacrifice trillions of dollars & thousands of American lives to protect a foreign country located on the other side of Earth. Israel has a very capable & well equipped Military. We have 15 trillion in debt & every canidate, BUT Ron Paul, is talking like we’re going to war with Iran!
Let’s save a few trillion…Let Islam murder themselves for a while.

@Gnash Still, his posts do not belong, and should not be allowed on the internet anywhere. If it is done by a plant, you would think they would be smart enough to find someone who can at least spell and post without being almost totally inflammatory.

I live in South Carolina and the whole country’s gone to shit. That’s what happens when you vote for a nigger in the white house. I’m voting for Gingrich or Romney, I haven’t decided yet. This old coot wants gays to have the same rights as people and he wants us to stop killing terrorists ! What a bunch of crap ! This old farts going to finish what monkey boy coundnt finish ! He’s going to create a sichuashon where the white race is going to be destroyed. Relax the racist drug laws? Are you kidding me? He wants those fuckers let loose out of prision? I say we become stricter on minorities, they dont belong here and they better straiten out or else, send a clear message. I say let the fed do it all, only thing that pinko chimp did right was NDAA. We need to get rid of all these occupy terrorists too and start shooting anyone in a gang or if they are illegal. This prick wants us to let Israel make their own decisions? We need to keep that Jewish state in check, we own them and without us they wouldn’t exist, also we need to kill off alot of the arab population. Theres way too many of them and they can becum terrorists any moment. Look how they are invading europe! Something the commie news doesn’t want you to see. Bill O and Glenn are the bravest men in the media for standing up to those commie cocksuckers and reporting to us real news. Thank god for people like them, Mitt and Gingrich, Perry isn’t so bad either and Santorum is alright. Huntsman is a commie and Bachmann is a woman. Paul is an old self hating white man who is old and unintellegent.

@HoorayeForDixie Dude, i think your views might be a little outdated. Most of us now don’t segregate each other based on skin color or nationality or what ever. For Islam, they follow the same God as Christians. In the Quran it states that Alah is the same god as the god of Abraham and the God of Issac and Jesus. Everything you just spouted in your rant is everything our awesome and powerful god is against. Please realize that life will be worth more if you spread love instead of hate.

@HoorayeForDixie Also, concerning the NDAA. I know that in my family hunting is a big thing for male bonding, dad and son and grandpa. The NDAA states that my father, a 30 year Navy vet, who’s dad was a Navy vet and who’s son(me) is also a Navy vet, is considered by OUR United States Government to be a terrorist because he has more than 7 days worth of food in his house and owns more than 2 guns. Our government has no regard for the Bill of Rights even when it does effect those that we honor.

@HoorayeForDixie@drummertimmy Hey HforD –
you are exactly why I’m voting for Ron Paul – Someone is voting for these idiots to stay in power and Ron Paul is finally a voice of reason in an otherwise cesspool of horrid policy and even worse political decisions. He’s against the racist crap you spew, but he fights for your right to say it.
That’s the constitution at work. You should be thankful.

@HoorayeForDixie@drummertimmy “Your” does NOT mean “you are”. “Your” is a possessive pronoun showing ownership, as in “This is your final notice”. If you mean “you are”, drop the blank space between “u” and “a” and change the “a” to an apostrophe. “You Are”, “Youare”, “You’re”.
YOU’RE either an idiot or a Democrat plant like good ol’ Alvin Greene.

@HoorayeForDixie Sir, if you write a comment that is this offensive on a website, you should go into it knowing that there are going to be VERY few people who agree with your opinions. Your comments are so arrogant, ignorant and abhorrent that anyone with any amount of respect for themselves or others would be embarrassed for living in a nation with people like you still around. So, I am now going to presume that you are uneducated and I should say if any of the words I used were a little confusing to understand for you, there are some great dictionary sources online that can help with that.

Unintelligent. Retard, I’ll bet your a fat hillbilly who’s missing at least half his teeth. Don’t vote for Ron then asshole, Ron doesn’t need supporters like yourself. Your right you’d be best voting for Gingrich or Perry. Your an embarrassment to White people and your everything that’s wrong with the South. Now go back to the Bar and show off how much of a man you are to your hick friends by comparing the size of your gas guzzling trucks.

@HoorayeForDixie Well, first, Ron is the closest thing we have to a candidate that leans towards the goals of National Socialism. He does NOT “hate” Black people; he even supports repealing drug policies that unfairly support political ends. But he wants us out of the UN, IMF AIPAC and the Federal Reserve. Best option this Election Year.

I’m an old person— and I’ve been a Ron Paul supporter for nearly 20 years.
The problem with most people is all they do is listen to the news or talk
radio to form their opinions. I listen to mainstream news to determine who
NOT to vote for. The media needs to get off RP’s back and quit harassing him
abt going 3rd party. Doesn’t matter. If he does not win the Republican nomination,
I will definitely NOT vote for any other Republican.

In late 80′s, Solidarity movement in Poland got rid of the communistic regime, thanks to the people united for one great goal. Dr. Ron Paul’s message should unite us all again like it did for the people in Easter Europe. Our media isn’t any better than soviet propaganda. It’s even worse, because people actually believe it.
We need Dr. Paul as the president of the United States!
