Insider Survey: It's like a soap opera

Editor's note: James A. Barnes is former chief political correspondent at the National Journal and is part of CNN's Election Night decision team. He is a contributor to The State of American Politics (Rowman & Littlefield, 2001) and has been a guest lecturer at Oxford University.

(CNN) -- The South Carolina Republican presidential primary is often a free-for-all, but this year's contest probably sets a new standard for volatility. Not surprisingly, Palmetto State GOP insiders see a close finish in the primary Saturday between former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, according to a CNN survey.

Less than 48 hours before voters would go to the polls, they were buffeted by a sudden announcement from Texas Gov. Rick Perry that he was withdrawing from the Republican presidential race and endorsing rival Gingrich. And as Perry was dropping out, the political world was buzzing with reports that Gingrich's second wife, Marianne, said that her then-husband proposed an "open marriage" before they divorced. Then, a fiery Gingrich struck back at the opening of the CNN debate in Charleston, attacking the "liberal media" for bringing up the story in the first place.

"It's like a darned soap opera," said one South Carolina GOP insider. "Never seen things this fluid," echoed another.

A CNN survey of 42 South Carolina GOP insiders—including Republican state legislators, state and local party officials, business and conservative interest group leaders, veterans of previous presidential primary campaigns, Palmetto State GOP political consultants, and other party activists—found a close race between the top two contenders. Three South Carolina GOP insiders thought the race would end in a dead heat between the two Republican contenders.

The insiders were asked: Who do you think will win the South Carolina primary?

Mitt Romney -- 33%

Newt Gingrich -- 31%

Rick Santorum -- 19%

Ron Paul -- 15%

Rick Perry -- N/A

Other --2%

Compared to a similar sounding of GOP insiders earlier in the week before Perry withdrew, it appeared that Gingrich had gained the most momentum in the closing days of the race.

Before Perry dropped out:

Mitt Romney -- 32%

Newt Gingrich -- 25%

Rick Santorum -- 18%

Ron Paul -- 15%

Rick Perry -- 8%

Other -- 2%
