COLUMBIA, S.C., Jan. 6 (UPI) -- With the South Carolina primary less than three weeks away, more than a third of voters there now support Mitt Romney, a poll released Friday indicated.
The Time/CNN/ORC poll was carried out Wednesday and Thursday after the former Massachusetts governor emerged from the Iowa caucuses in a virtual tie with former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa. Romney was the choice of 37 percent of those surveyed, while Santorum had 19 percent and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, 18 percent.
