SC-SEN: SC's US Senate race between Lindsey Graham, Jaime Harrison remains tied

[RandySF]

COLUMBIA — U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham continues to face the most competitive challenge of his political career less than seven weeks out from Election Day, as a new poll Wednesday again found the South Carolina Republican tied with Democratic opponent Jaime Harrison.

The survey from Quinnipiac University found Graham and Harrison both drawing 48 percent support from likely voters in South Carolina, with just 3 percent saying they are not sure who they are going to vote for on Nov. 3.

“A victor by almost 16 points back in 2014, Sen. Graham stares down the first real test of his Senate tenure,” said Quinnipiac polling analyst Tim Malloy. “Outspent and accused by some of being a Trump apologist, he is in a precarious tie.”

n the presidential race, Republican incumbent Donald Trump maintains a 6-point lead over Democratic challenger Joe Biden in South Carolina, 51 percent to 45 percent.

Those results suggest that not all Trump supporters in the state are necessarily planning to vote for Graham, who has become one of the president’s most vocal congressional allies in recent years but was a harsh critic of him during the 2016 presidential campaign.

1. Trump's lead will dwindle...

And Linsey will pay at the polls.

2. Until Harrison gets to 50

I am not going to let myself get excited. Graham is the one vulnerable senator who could be helped by this. I think it is the nail in the coffin for Collins, Gardner, and McSally and it looks like Ernst too but Graham is running in a state that is likely majority against abortion and is for sure still majority against LGBT rights.
