Tonight at 7pm, the polls close in South Carolina for the Republican primary and right now, a quick look at the most recent polls shows Newt Gingrich seemingly on his way to winning the primary.  Here is a quick synopsis of the latest polls in relative order from most recent to oldest:

Just as a side note, and as a follow up to my first post about the electability differences between Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, Public Policy Polling did a poll earlier in the week for the state of Texas that shows what a Gingrich nomination could mean for the Republican Party in a General Election:
