Rick Perry trails even Jon Huntsman in a new South Carolina poll, an early sign that the Texan's efforts to revive his presidential campaign might not be working.

An InsiderAdvantage/Majority Opinion Research survey released Thursday shows Perry with backing from 5 percent of likely South Carolina GOP primary voters. That puts him last among major candidates.

Ahead are Mitt Romney at 23 percent, Newt Gingrich at 21 percent, Rick Santorum at 14 percent, Ron Paul at 13 percent and Huntsman at 7 percent.
