South Carolina Special Election a Toss Up

A new Public Policy Polling survey in South Carolina’s 1st congressional district finds Elizabeth Colbert Busch (D) leading Mark Sanford (R), 47% to 45% and deadlocked with Curtis Bostic (R), 43% to 43%.

Key findings: “Democrats are far more unified than the Republicans are. Busch is winning 87-89% of the Democratic vote while Sanford (76%) and Bostic (72%) are both earning less than 80% of the GOP vote. Busch is also up by 16-18 points with independent voters.”

In next week’s GOP runoff, Sanford leads Bostic by double-digits, 53% to 40%.
