From ARG:
"Increases in awareness and favorability over the past month have lifted Howard Dean to the front in South Carolina. Dean is now at 16% and is followed closely by Wesley Clark at 12%, Al Sharpton at 12%, and John Edwards at 11%. Undecideds remain the largest block of voters at 29%."

Here's the main details (Grrr...Scoop formatting sucks. It insists on adding 20 blank lines before a table, so sorry about the format. It was clean in HTML.).
Yep, the guy just can't win in the South.
NOTE - This poll was conducted Dec. 17-21, after Saddam was caught.
What's surprising is that the only two remaining climbers here are Dean and Sharpton. Even Clark drops (though within MOE). Dean's jump is slightly higher than MOE. Kerry continues to collapse, to a stunning one sixth of the Sharpton line, one point above Kusinich, one point below Mosely-Braun.
Stick a fork in him, he's done.
