Sanford Grabs Lead in Special Election Race

A new Public Policy Polling survey in South Carolina’s 1st congressional district finds a race that’s too close to call, with Mark Sanford (R) edging Elizabeth Colbert Busch (D), 47% to 46%.

Key finding: The one point lead for Sanford represents a 10 point reversal from a similar poll two weeks ago, when Colbert Busch led by nine points at 50% to 41%.
