Tenenbaum Moves Ahead of DeMint in Latest Poll
http://www.inez2004.com/portal/index.php?module=article&view=207COLUMBIA, S.C. – Inez Tenenbaum has closed the gap and now leads Jim DeMint by three points with a month remaining in the race for U.S. Senate, according to a new poll by the Global Strategy Group.
Tenenbaum leads DeMint 46% to 43% among likely voters and 46% to 44% among definite voters in the latest poll, reversing results from a poll earlier this month which showed DeMint leading by 3 points among likely voters and 6 points among definite voters.
The poll confirms that South Carolina voters overwhelmingly reject DeMint’s proposal for a 23% federal sales tax and are responding to Tenenbaum’s message of lower taxes for middle class South Carolinians, jobs, and education. 57% of voters polled oppose the 23% federal sales tax plan, compared with just 27% who support the idea.
“This survey shows that South Carolina voters are very aware of, understand, and roundly reject Jim DeMint’s 23% national sales tax plan, and it confirms that Inez is very well positioned to win this race on November 2, said Tenenbaum campaign manager Frank Holleman. “These numbers prove that DeMint’s recent negative attacks against Inez are a desperate effort to change the subject and halt the losses from his indefensible proposal to raise taxes on more than 95% of South Carolinians.”
DeMint has sponsored legislation in Congress (H.R. 25) to scrap the tax code, adopt a 23% federal sales tax on nearly all consumer goods and services, and eliminate deductions for home mortgage interest and charitable and religious contributions. DeMint’s campaign has sought unsuccessfully to defend his proposal in television and radio ads over the past five weeks.
The poll also shows Tenenbaum gaining voter approval in a number of areas. She has gained 11 points and is now tied with DeMint as the candidate better described as having “the experience a Senator needs,” according to pollster Harrison Hickman.
Tenenbaum also has strong potential to gain additional support among undecided voters, because 64% are either white women or African-Americans, two of Tenenbaum’s strongest groups.
The poll was conducted September 27-29 among 500 randomly selected registered voters in South Carolina. The poll has a sampling error of 4.4%.
