Hillary Clinton remains the frontrunner among South Carolina Democrats, although her market share has dropped a bit.

If the race is narrowed to the top three contenders, Clinton leads with 41 percent, Obama has 34 percent and Edwards is at 20 percent. 

This represents a two-point drop for Clinton, a five-point decrease for Edwards and a nine-point increase for Obama.  Clinton held a 43-25 lead over Obama in April.

The race is much closer – and much changed – on the Republican side.

Among all candidates, Fred Thompson now leads with 27 percent, followed by Giuliani at 22, McCain at 17, non-candidate Newt Gingrich at 10 and Mitt Romney at 9.  If the race is narrowed down to the top four contenders candidates, Thompson has 35 percent; Giuliani is second with 25; McCain is at 21, and Romney claims 13 percent.

This is a significant change from April, when McCain led a three-way race with Giuliani and Romney with 36 percent, followed by Giuliani (34%) and Romney (21%).
