A new Winthrop poll in South Carolina shows Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has seen his approval rating drop from 72% in February to just 45% today among Republicans and those independents who lean toward the GOP.
Among all registered voters, his approval rating is just 37%.
A new Harper Polling survey confirms Graham’s 37% overall approval rating but finds he still holds a commanding lead in a GOP primary, with 51% of the vote, just above the threshold he’d need to avoid a runoff against the second-place finisher. His closest competition is Lee Bright (R), who pulls in just 15%.
