In a poll conducted two days after a Politico article hit detailing sexual harassment claims against businessman Herman Cain during his time at the National Restaurant Association (which he has denied), the former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza still leads the Republican primary in South Carolina. Cain gets 33 percent of the GOP trial heat, with former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney in second with 23 percent and Gingrich in third at 15 percent in flash poll conducted on November 1st.

Still, the GOP race in SC is in flux. From Rasmussen:

It’s important to note that just 28% of South Carolina’s Primary voters are firmly committed to their current candidate. That leaves 72% who could still change their mind or have no preference at this time. South Carolina’s primary will be held ten days after the New Hampshire Primary and the results from both Iowa and New Hampshire could alter the course of the campaign before South Carolina votes. Of those who are currently certain of their vote, Cain leads Romney by 12.
