Relax. Of what use is a South Carolina or Nevada poll taken before the New Hampshire primary? That primary was two days ago. Most reputable pollsters spend at least two days in the field and need time to calculate the results. So the earliest possible date for a reputable poll to be released is tomorrow. Plus, some pollsters may be waiting until after the debates to start polling, on the theory that a pre-debate poll isn't as meaningful as a post-debate poll. They might not start polling the Republican side until Sunday, which means their polls will be released next Tuesday or so.
Prediction: We'll see a lot of polls next week. We also might see a Las Vegas Review-Journal Nevada poll in time for the Sunday edition of the newspaper. And I wouldn't be surprised if CBS News is currently working on a South Carolina poll to be released tomorrow in anticipation of the debate.
