Nationally Fox News has Romney at 40 percent. Gallup has him at 37 percent. Doug Mataconis analyzes the trend:
[I]t does appear that conservatives are beginning, perhaps still reluctantly, to accept the fact that Mitt Romney is going to be the Republican nominee for President. Even if he were to stumble in South Carolina, he is the only candidate capable of competing in Florida and beyond. More importantly, as the Fox poll shows, the Republican selectorate is (finally) starting to turn its attention to the question of electability, and on that score Romney is winning hands down.
Yes, but. This race is won by delegates in state primaries and caucuses. South Carolina can still change an awful lot.
