Rasmussen says Santorum is a solid second with 24 percent, while Gingrich is third with 18 percent. But American Research Group shows Gingrich and Santorum tied at 24 percent, while CNN/TIME/ORC shows Santorum at 19 percent and Gingrich at 18 percent.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who canceled three days worth of scheduled events this week in South Carolina following his poor showing in Tuesday’s Iowa caucuses, is at 5 percent in two of the polls and 2 percent in American Research Group.
It is a remarkable surge for Santorum, who two months ago was polling at 1 percent in South Carolina. But his strong showing in Tuesday’s Iowa caucus, where he finished second by eight votes, has vaulted him to the front.
In New Hampshire, whose primary is Tuesday, Romney still has a commanding lead with 40 percent. But Santorum has jumped into third place with 11 percent, the only candidate moving up in that race, according to a daily tracking poll from Suffolk University.
Nationally, Romney leads with 29 percent, followed by Santorum at 21 percent, according to Rasmussen.
Rasmussen polled 750 likely S.C. Republican primary voters on Thursday with a margin of error of 4 percent.
American Research Group polled 600 likely S.C. primary voters on Wednesday and Thursday. A margin of error was not available.
CNN/TIME/ORC polled 1,519 adults, including 485 likely voters, Wednesday and Thursday and has a margin of error of 4.5 percent.
The Rasmussen poll found nearly half (48 percent) of S.C.’s likely primary voters could still change their minds. Forty-one percent of likely primary voters say they will not change their minds.
Paul has the most consistent base, with 62 percent of his supporters saying they will vote for him, while 51 percent of Perry’s backers say they aren’t going anywhere and 50 percent of Romney’s supporters say they will vote for him.
But just 43 percent of Santorum’s supporters say they will not change their minds, while 36 percent of Gingrich’s supporters say they have decided.

Romney leads in S.C. as Santorum, Gingrich fight for second
Three polls out Friday morning show Gov. Mitt Romney leading in South Carolina as Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich fight for second place.
Romney’s support ranges from 27 percent according to a new poll from Rasmussen, 31 percent according to a poll from American Research Group to 37 percent according to a poll from CNN/TIME/ORC.
“We are under no illusions about the challenges facing us in the state – just four years ago Mitt Romney finished fourth in the South Carolina primary,” said Amanda Henneberg, a spokeswoman for the Romney campaign. “But in the closing weeks, we will continue to reach out to voters and make the case that Mitt Romney is the best candidate to beat Barack Obama, and that he is the best choice to grow the economy, cut spending, and create jobs.”
